Description Lobotomik 2018-11-23 21:35:35 UTC
Description:
A two-finger scroll in the touchpad in other applications moves the screen contents smoothly up and down in a nice, controlable fashion.

However, with Libreoffice Writer 6.1, one millimeter or two are enough to send the screen contents shooting up or down in an uncontrollable manner. The movement that makes, say, Edge scroll by one line will make LibreOffice Writer scroll by one screen, or more. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a long document with LibreOffice Writer
2. Do a two-finger scroll moving your fingers up and down on the trackpad just a little bit
3. Watch the text shoot up and down incredibly fast

Actual Results:
Text shoots up and down very, very fast

Expected Results:
The text should scroll at a reasonable speed, comparable with other programs.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

I think this should be given high priority, as it makes Writer very hard to use on a laptop.

Comment 5 Lobotomik 2018-11-29 10:13:10 UTC
The setup I have where it fails has these features, which may be related:

* 4K resolution
* Touch screen
* Nvidia GTX-1050 GPU

Could the touch screen be related? It doesn't behave with LibreOffice as it does with other applications. Dragging a finger on the contents in other applications scrolls the content around, whild in LibreOffice Writer it does block selection.

Or maybe the 4K resolution is related? LibreOffice has other issues with 4K, like tiny fonts in the menus, or jumbled menubar icons in some UI configurations. 

The Windows 10 scaling factor is set to 200% in my computer. I will try to set it to 100% and see how it goes.

Any suggestions that could be helpful to locate the root of the issue?
