Description libreofficebugs 2019-07-25 17:05:20 UTC
Description:
LibreOffice Writer

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install libreoffice
2. start writer
3. try scrolling document, font list, languages list

Actual Results:
scrolling jitters up and down randomly and the scroll speed is exaggeratedly higher than anywhere else on the system. The smaller the UI area to scroll in the worse the jitters, and it will eventually get stuck scrolling down only regardless of which direction the user wants to scroll.

Expected Results:
Scrolling at the same speed as the rest of the system, and most importantly in the direction intended.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

For me, this bug happens when scrolling via my laptop's trackpad, but does not happen when using my USB mouse's scroll wheel.

** My System **
OS: KDE Neon 5.16 64-bit (Plasma Desktop 5.16.4, KDE Frameworks 5.60.0, Qt 5.12.3)
Linux Kernel: 5.0.0.23-generic
I am using the xorg synaptics driver for my touchpad, and I am using evdev rather than libinput, if that matters at all.
Comment 3 Martin Lindermann 2019-10-23 14:43:14 UTC
Same Problem: scrolling via touchpad is erratic; while only scrolling vertically on touchpad, window scrolls horizontally then scrolls up and down. This happens with either blank or opened document. Also occurs in calc

Dear libreofficebugs@working.name, Martin Lindermann,
Do you reproduce this issue if you launch LibreOffice from commandline with 'SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3 soffice' ?
Comment 6 Michael Weghorn 2019-11-12 08:18:42 UTC
This *might* be the same as bug 126680, in which case this has been fixed for LibreOffice 6.3.1 Can you test whether the issue still happens with a current LibreOffice 6.3 version?
Comment 7 S. Christian Collins 2019-11-12 16:30:39 UTC
I'm using LibreOffice 6.3.3.2 and the bug no longer occurs for me.

Great, thanks for the update. Let's mark this bug as WORKSFORME then.

@libreofficebugs: Please reopen if your issue is another one and still happens with a current LibreOffice 6.3 version.
