Don't roll

Tested in Linux Mint 19.1; LibreOffice x.x.x - 6.3.x
Modul: Writer

This is a very old problem.

-- Open new document
-- Table - Insert Table - Rows: 40 (or more) - click Insert
-- Now, try to select with the mouse the rows:
--- Move the mouse pointer the table left side ( the icon changes: -> )
--- Move down the mouse pointer

When you reach the bottom of the screen, the screen doesn't roll.

I confirm it with

Related to bug 4797 (can we treat this as a duplicate?)
Comment 2 Dieter 2021-06-06 10:38:34 UTC 
Still present in

Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha1+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 4a9eef7849a75ba91806886ea9c96d114c8d56f9
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB

Additional informations:
Bug is not related to mouse. It is also impossible to select with touchpad => I change bug summary
If you place cursor in a tble cell, you can select as expected.

Still reproducible in:

Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: c50cf1883af26daebdfc9d796ced3c20c222f43b
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Already in:

Version: 6.1.6.3
Build ID: 5896ab1714085361c45cf540f76f60673dd96a72
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; 
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded

The behaviour is different with columns: selecting off the viewport to the right ends up selecting only the first column.
