--- Comment #4 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
Which desktop environment are you using, Juergen? I assume GNOME?

I am using Ubuntu 22.04 + GNOME 42.9, and when I click on text, the cursor
changes to a pointer (unless I move again, in which case it's again an I-beam
cursor).

Do you know of other applications that automatically move the cursor out of the
way when clicking into text?
I feel like I've never seen this kind of behaviour, and that if it existed, it
should be an OS / Desktop Environment setting.

What do you think about auto-hiding the cursor when typing? That's requested in
bug 97757.
