Description: If you are using many applications at the same time, after clicking out of libreoffice and clicking in again, scrolling in the document using the wheel stops working. The workaround to make it work again is to switch windows using ALT + Tab shortcut, however this is anoying because it reduces the speed and flow of work, given that it's possible to scroll only if libreoffice is focused after using ALT + Tab (it's not even possible to scroll while out of focus by just moving the cursor over the window without clicking and using the wheel, somenthing almost any other application allows to do). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open any libreoffice app and any other app appart of libreoffice 2. with Libreoffice app focused, click in the other app to focus it 4. Move the coursor over the libreoffice window (without clicking) and try to scroll using the wheel 3. Click again in the libreoffice app and try to scroll using the wheel Actual Results: It doesn't scroll if it isn't in focus, also it doesn't scroll if it's in focus but you switched windows by click. Expected Results: Allow to scroll in focus and without focus, even after switching windows by click Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Version: 24.2.5.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: bffef4ea93e59bebbeaf7f431bb02b1a39ee8a59 CPU threads: 6; OS: Linux 5.18; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: es-CO (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded It was also tested using last Debian Buster build 6.1.5-3+deb10u12 and the same thing happens. The issue has been mentioned in the following forum posts: - https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/scrolling-with-the-mousewheel-stops-working-calc/40367 - https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/writer-mouse-scroll-stops-working-randomly/63647
Not reproducible in: Version: 25.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 7b8ae2bf7cf9d4d637b40030bb9f482f6fba5194 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.5; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Works fine for me as well, using Wayland and KDE. Are you in a Wayland or X11 session? You can check by saying in a terminal: echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE Which desktop environment are you using?

Created attachment 197601 [details] Video showing the problem Here is a video showing the error happening even with the LibreOffice own windows. I also noticed that if I try to scroll with the wheel while the cursor is over the tabs, it flickers if I don't switch with CTRL + Tab, which may mean that it's indeed receiving the events, but it's just not doing what it should do.

And is the desktop environment GNOME?
(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #6) > And is the desktop environment GNOME? It's DDE, which is KDE based. But also note that in this link https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/writer-mouse-scroll-stops-working-randomly/63647, it seems to happen to other people in Ubuntu, which is probably Gnome if the user didn't changed it.
