Description Bernhard Krabina 2017-06-22 08:17:21 UTC
Description:
Excel has the feature of slowing down scrolling at the end of large data rows. This is missing in Calc, but is a nice feature if you are working with larger tables.

Actual Results:  
calc scrolls at the same speed resulting in users to "miss" the end of data and continue scrolling down empty table cells

Expected Results:
cals should slow down scrolling if the end of data cells approach


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

What do you miss with ctrl+cursor down? It works for me.

I meant scrolling with the mouse, e. g. when you copy contents of one cell down to the end of the data rows.

I know there are some nice keyboard shortcuts for this, but for scrolling with the mouse the excel feature is really nice.

I think not using the key board is a waste of time. Scrolling - with or without scrolling-slowing-down-near-end-of-range - is always slower. But..

I agree with Cor. I think it is not a good idea to spend developer time for such a function when there is already better.

Closing as WontFix.
