cursor invisible in empty lines

I have dark theme on my sytem.
I also have set:
Options > LibreOffice > Application colors > Custom colors > _A_utomatic to "dark" so to have inverted colors of a page.

In Options > LibreOffice  > Application colors > User interface elements the "Text boundaries" is SELECTED and set to "automatic"

In attached document I cant see the cursor when it is at the beginning of empty line. Pressing enter adds another line as expected, but the cursor is still invisible. It looks like it was obscured with text boundary.

Cursor though becomes visible if
1) "Text boundaries" is UNCHECKED OR
2) "Text boundaries" is set to any color other than "automatic" OR
3) Options > LibreOffie > Application colors > Custom colors > _A_utomatic is set to "light".

In general the bugs looks like the Text boundaries when set to automatic, covered blinking caret.
