Description: Since we cannot do easy-panning of canvas as of today, we have to mouse drag the horizontal scrollbar often. However, it always, yes always, finished with the layers bar mis-clicked, which lies closely below the narrow scrollbar, causing the Insert Layers dialog pops up. IMO An option to hide the layers bar might solve this (would reside in the View menu), if it's still difficult to make the canvas panning much easier for mouse users. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Zoom in. 2. Try to pan the canvas horizontally using the scroll bars. Actual Results: Always mis-clicking on the layers bar. Expected Results: Scroll the canvas happily without meditation. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: NA

Hello Regina, it's not a problem of LO indeed, the actual reason relies in the height of the horizontal scrollbars, which is way too narrow (guess <= 20 px, eg. in KDE Plasma) for any quick, eye-happy mouse operations. And I understand it's system-wise GUI configuration bound, not the problem of LO. However, en-widening the scrollbar isn't something ideal, esp. when user tries to maximize the canvas area within small laptop screens. For me, it happens about 7 out of 10 (when you are very concentrated on your graph), not just occasionally. I'm having no similar trouble elsewhere, so I think it's human-ability irrelevant. Dunno about others. The option to hide the layers bar isn't nice, but for user like me who never toggle between layers, to hide that layers bar could not only solve this mis-clicking problem, but also could save laptop screen space in the meantime.

The LayerTabBar in Draw is of the same kind of object as the TabBar in Calc. Defined in https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sd/source/ui/inc/LayerTabBar.hxx https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/include/svtools/tabbar.hxx Impress has layers same as Draw, but does not show a layer tab bar. (That was changed from OOo1.1 -> OOo1.2). So that might be a way to go. However, I would make the scrollbar thicker, so that it can be more easily dragged, instead of hiding the layer tab bar.
