Description: In most apps, Opt-Clicking in a vertical scroll bar jumps to that location in the document. In LO, that does not happen. An Opt-Click merely jumps up/down a page (if you have it set that way in System Prefs). This has been the case since I started using LO a couple years ago. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Opt-click in a vertical scroll bar. 2. 3. Actual Results: Document moves up or down a single screen/page. Expected Results: Document should jump to proportional point in the document, depending on where you Opt-Click. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Most Mac apps do NOT do this. I know there is one other that does, but can't recall which one at the moment.

Hello Keith Johnson! Do you still have this problem with latest version 7.3? Can you do a screen recording? Thank you. Aleksandra
Yes, I just downloaded 7.3, and it's still happening. I don't think a screen recording will show much: when I Opt-click in the scrollbar, nothing happens. That would be a boring movie... --> But, further information: LO is not the only app I have trouble with. About a third of the pre-installed Apple apps I use most often do this, including News, TV, and Music, though other Apple apps work fine. Other apps, including FileMaker Pro and 1Password work fine. --> AND: I found a tip somewhere that works in LO: click in the scrollbar, but HOLD DOWN the button, and the thumb jumps (in steps!) to the correct position. I think this may be universal, and I just didn't know about it (I've only been using Macs since about 1986...). So this is now less of a problem than it was.

Reproduced with LibreOffice for Arm Mac Silicon M1 Version: 7.3.0.3 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 0f246aa12d0eee4a0f7adcefbf7c878fc2238db3 CPU threads: 8; OS: Mac OS X 12.2.1; UI render: Skia/Metal; VCL: osx Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR Calc: threaded Described desired behaviour: - functions correctly in Word - doesn't work in Writer, the jumps are either pagewise, or multiple if mouse button kept pressed down.
Pretty sure that LO has always behaved this way though, but can't test back to OOo/LO3 as it is no longer supported on Arm architecture (won't run in Rosetta 2).
I have uploaded a patch that enables "jump to clicked spot" when pressing Option during a left mouse click: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/178369 I'll post again once it passes the automated tests and is in the nightly master build.

I have committed a fix for this bug. The fix will be in tomorrow's (13 December 2024) nightly master builds: https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html Note for macOS testers: the nightly master build installer does not overwrite any LibreOffice official versions. Instead, it will be installed as a separate application called "LibreOfficeDev" in the /Applications folder. Because this is a "test" build, you will need to do the following steps before you launch the LibreOfficeDev application: 1. Go to the Finder and navigate to the /Applications/Utilities folder 2. Launch the "Terminal" application 3. Paste the following command in the Terminal application window and press the Return key to execute the command: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/LibreOfficeDev.app
