Steps to reproduce: 1. Enable Sidebar 2. Undock the Sidebar 3. Shrink the sidebar, so that scrolling bars appear 4. Make sure Properties Pane is active 5. Try to do two-finger scrolling Expected behaviour: Scrolling window contents Actual behaviour: It does not scroll. :(
I can confirm this using Mac OSX 10.8.3 with LibreOffice Versie: 4.1.0.0.beta2 Build ID: 33224f4f11a05cfad2249e812fcc2975fbb61f6; Dutch UI; Kind regards, Joren
I can also reproduce this bug when the sidebar is docked under 4.1.0.4.
This issue is actually somewhat very annoying, especially in calc, where sidebar is very detailed.
Raising importance to "Major", since this is an important UX issue and still has not been fixed before RC2.
This affects me under Linux, too -- setting platform to All-All.
Tested on LO 4.2.3.3 under Ubuntu, and 4.2.2.1 running on WindowsXP. I confirm I can reproduce the bug in both platform, sidebar docked as well as undocked. Even if clicking the scrollbar to make the scroll-thumb jumps, didn't work as expected.
Looking at this on Windows 7 sp1, 64-bit en-US with Version: 4.3.0.0.beta2 Build ID: a06aa316117a6ff0f05c697c82831c227812d810 Seems like the Scroll bars are not even implemented in UI. So, when undocked the frame/dialog can be resized, but does not render with scroll bars.

I believe there are two problems here. a) When in floating mode the sidebar doesn't adapt to the size of the floating window b) That scrolling only works if the vertical scrollbar is explicitly used (or wheel/trackpad scrolling while over it) a is easy, b is tricky because if e.g. a spinbutton is brought under the pointer position when wheeling then the spin button will start incrementing. I've resolved this by tweaking wheeling to reuse the *previous* widget as the target if the position of the pointer is exactly the same as it was on the previous wheel and there time gap is < 1/2 a second. i.e you can scroll up and down with the wheel and spinbuttons etc are ignored unless you move or wait before doing it again.
