Description a4jp.com 2024-07-19 21:43:51 UTC
Description:
If I drag an image to the bottom of the screen it moves everything way to quickly. Work is almost impossible.
If I check for updates 24.2.5 isn't shown. It just says latest update installed already. I only found out the was a new version by coming here to report this and seeing there was another release. But the scrolling problem is the biggest problem for me as it's work related. I can manually check updates if needed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Copy table info with pictures from the web and paste it into Calc
2.The pics are all squished together so drag image to correct place after setting row width to correct size.
3.The speed is way too fast T-T Everything is just jumping on drag.

Actual Results:
The auto scroll is way too fast and no setting fix this. I have even tried different mice without smooth scroll or auto scroll on.

Expected Results:
I can easily drag and the screen scrolls at a usable speed


Reproducible: Always

One issue per report, so let's keep this for the scrolling.

Tested by copying flags from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flags_of_the_U.S._states_and_territories

It's the same quick speed already in 4.3 on Windows when dragging image beyond the visible rows.

I think it's a matter of taste somewhat and can be handled by zooming out. Some people might be furious, if the scrolling speed got slower. Let's ask design team.

We have a META ticket for this and a gazillion requests (I suggest to duplicate some. My take: the scrolling speed depends on the distance to the edge of the viewport. Starting very slow at 50px, or so, away and speeding up at the very bottom (or top).

I have 3 monitors. I'll check if it's the same on one tonight. But it is impossible to drag an image now as it just scroll way too fast T-T
