Screen Issue with Libre Office on MacBook Pro

I am having screen issues with Libre Office on my MacBook Pro.

When I move the cursor in the document much of the screen turns grey.

It only happens on MacBook Pro, and only with Libre Office.

There is no issue on an iMac or on a Windows laptop.

Is there some screen setting I have wrong?

[Edit - Opaque] Corrected image link to show in details

When I open a new or existing document on writer, an opaque area appears when my cursor passes over the document. The opaque area changes size/location when I move my cursor. The text remains, just behind this shifting opaque box.

If set, try to disable OpenGL in LibreOffice -> Preferences -> LibreOffice -> View -> Category: Graphics Output -> Option: [ ] Use OpenGL for all rendering and check whether that fixes your problem
(name is different on 7.0.x version of LibreOffice but you did not mention you LibreOffice version, Check for Vulkan or Hardware acceleration at all in same configuration path)

Thanks Opaque. I have Libre Office 6.4.7.2.

I checked and the Open GL was already disabled.

The grey screen is to the righ and down from the cursor point when I use the mouse.

Looks like I worked out the problem - I had enabled direct cursor mode in the Edit menu.

Disabled it and the issue just went away.

Thank you. I don’t know how I activated that feature. It is fixed now.
