System Information.

There is no smooth scrolling in Writer even if it is enabled in Tools - Options - LibreOffice Writer - View.  I have tried every combination of the toggles under Tools - Options - LibreOffice - View, and tested using both Intel UHD and Nvidia discrete graphic cards.  None of these works; there is simply no smooth scrolling.

Attached please find my system information.

Hi, I've tested version 6.4.7.2 and 7.0.3.1, with a clean profile in Safe Mode, each using both Intel UHD and Nvidia grpahic cards. No luck, there is no smooth scrolling.

When Writer smooth scroll is checked enabled, it only responds to the controls of the Writer Scroll Bar, by mouse click & hold on:

Down arrow,
Up arrow,
Scroll bar below the 'Thumb',
Scroll bar above the 'Thumb'.

Test that way.

No smooth scrolling here on Windows 10, Libre Writer 7.1.2.2, Surface Pro 4 (precision trackpad) either. This seems to have been a problem previously (https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/51065/is-it-possible-to-adjust-the-scrolling-speed-in-all-libreoffice-apps/). Whole page scrolls through in only four steps. A bit hard to use the app this way, especially when reading. Did not run into this problem in other apps.

Reproduced by clicking and holding above and below the scrollbar. Already in 3.5.0 on Linux, so I assume this never worked. Also tested 6.3, 5.0, 4.1. Same with all VCL UIs.

I can confirm that this does not work under Linux, at least with kf5. I tested with LO 7.4 from master and using the scrollbar does not result in smooth scrolling.

Dear Noah Li,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
