In LibreOffice (tested in Writer and Sheets at the very least), the scroll speed for touch pads is very high, making it very difficult to navigate a document. I am on Windows 10 and my laptop is a Dell XPS 13 model 9350. When I use the two finger scroll with the touch pad, LibreOffice is way too sensitive. Other apps scroll much slower and smoother. Perhaps allow a setting for adjusting scroll speed. Thank you for the wonderful suite!

Does smooth scroll (in the expert configuration) set to true or false change something?

From my side, under Ubuntu 16.04 x86-64 on a Dell Latitude, I do not feel the scrolling with the touchpad too fast.

Best regards. JBF

Smooth Scroll did not change anything.

Here are two gifs to help explain what I'm experiencing. This first gif is scrolling Chrome; it is the speed at which all apps (other than LibreOffice) scroll.

This next gif is scrolling in LibreOffice. I am doing the exact same motions on my trackpad, but notice how much farther and faster the page scrolls. Again, I'm doing the same thing in both gifs with my trackpad, but notice the change in scrolling speed. I am scrolling via the two-finger gesture, and I'm moving my fingers across the trackpad quite slowly (standard scrolling motion, not flicking quickly). It's incredibly difficult to navigate LibreOffice because of how fast it jumps through pages when scrolling.

Forgot to set the status back to unconfirmed. 

Thank you for the data. For me it is not a bug. You are comparing the behaviour with documents of different lengths.

Best regards. JBF
