Description:
After updating from version 7.5.8.2(x86_64) to 7.59 and then 7.6.4 (to see if the problem was solved) I struggle when scrolling in a Calc spreadsheet. The "graphic display" of the table moves "slowly" and some cells or rows remain visible on top of others. It is even difficult to get to the first column because the table stops moving before gettin there (say at column C or B). I re-installed version 7.5.8.2 and there I no such a problem in this version. I am using MacOSX 13.4.1 in an intel MacMini

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just open a spreadsheet with ~ 10 columns and ~ 500 rows and try to scroll or select a range of cells using the mouse
2.
3.

Actual Results:
the spreadsheet "moves" slowly and out of sync, I would say

Expected Results:
Normal navigation and selection in a spreadsheet, but it is not happening


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I hope my description of the problem is clear enough, I don't know how to describe it better sorry.

Probably a duplicate of tdf#155266. I am setting it so. If it is not really the same, please set the report back to UNCONFIRMED and explain the difference.

There is a fix for issue 155266 but, unfortunately, the fix will not be available until the LibreOffice 7.6.5 release.

Fortunately, a tester has found a workaround for LibreOffice 7.5.9 and 7.6.4: switch to Skia/Metal rendering.

To enable Skia/Metal rendering, do the following steps:

1. Open the Options dialog by selecting the LibreOffice > Preferences menu
2. Select LibreOffice > View in the left panel
3. In the right panel, check the "Use Skia for all rendering" and uncheck "Force Skia software rendering" checkboxes as shown in the following screen snapshot:

4. Press the "OK" button and restart if prompted

If that does not work, another workaround is to install LibreOffice 24.2.0 Beta1 which has the fix. Please let us know if you need steps to download the beta version.
