Cursor size is tiny

Cursor is tiny and I can not change the size, how do I enlarge it? I was trying to "fix" VLC, and after doing some broken file repair, I ended up with very tiny cursor on the text screen of Thunderbird. My cursor will go to my preset size on the top panel and the left hand side dock, it is only within the Thunderbird message and toolbar area that the cursor is tiny. Since I has some vision problems it is important to get the cursor to return to the large size again. I tried to take a screenshot of the cursor but it becomes a box of the area of the screenshot and therefore no cursor.

I have that changing cursor size is best done with the OS. Have you tried that?

The OS cursor is very large, the problem is the cursor in TB and LibreOffice that have a tiny cursor. Neither have a way to resize it that I have found. Including the about.config file.

Actually I solved the TG tiny cursor by installing TB from the TB PPA site, set up my email and I made sure all my settings and addresses were there. Then I removed the Flatpak TB. I expect that I may have to remove Flatpak LibreOffice and use synaptic package manager and install LO from there.
