Yeah, unfortunately this seems to combine the UI and performance issues of LibreOffice with new issues from the new front end.

It also has a basic mistake in text editor UX: the caret blinks independently of caret movement. This means that the caret is invisible half of the time while trying to navigate text. Most text editors avoid this by restarting the blink cycle to force the caret visible on each movement.

It doesn't do that on my computer. LibreOffice 7.0.4.2 shipped with GNU/Linux Debian.
