Please test in safe mode, Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode
Comment 2 Sciuriware 2023-10-02 14:43:13 UTC 
I'm puzzled: in Safe Mode it scrolled, not smoothly, but in tiny steps.
Now back in normal mode it scrolls like it should.
I do not understand this. What's happened?
;JOOP!

P.S. I tried on my wife's Silicon system: no scrolling problems at all!

If it happens again, please reopen the bug.
Comment 4 Sciuriware 2023-10-02 15:55:55 UTC 
Thanks for your time.

Btw.: going to safe mode resets a lot:
it took me 30 minutes to check and reset everything.
Fortunately I stored screen shots of every chapter.
I will file a new bug:
the colors do not have names any more in the color chooser; very clumsy.
;JOOP!

Out of the blue: scrolling is bad again:

it works, but shocking and delayed after the mouse action.
Note: I use LO Writer pure, without any extensions or other tricks.
Moreover, I have been using LO the same way since OpenOffice by SUN.
;JOOP!
Comment 6 Sciuriware 2023-10-04 15:24:56 UTC 
I checked on another system with MacOS and LO 7.6.2: again bad scrolling.
I'm beginning to believe that this problem is an MacOS-INTEL problem.
Still no problems on the Silicon box.
;JOOP!
