Description Nick Levinson 2015-02-23 00:38:57 UTC
When I have done multiple Finds in a document and then do one more Find, instead of finding a match the page may suddenly and rapidly scroll to the bottom. If I stop it midway by clicking in the moving page, I can continue working, but if I let it scroll all the way down, any effort to go back up results in an immediate scrolling down to the bottom. The kludgy solution is to quit LibreOffice and reopen the dodcument. It shouldn't scroll down.

Related is bug 83626. My hardware description is a guess. I use Fedora 20 Linux, kept up to date.

Hi Nick,
The 4.2-branch is now EOL. Can you reproduce the problem in our latest release?

I'll leave that to someone else, because upgrading LibreOffice I prefer not to do until Fedora Linux does, and they probably won't till their next major version. But thanks.

Okay -- when the version bumps in Fedora, please retest and let us know if the issue is fixed. This bug will be in a holding pattern until then (If you get a notification about the bug being in NEEDINFO for a while, feel free to leave a quick comment indicating that you're waiting for Fedora to update)

As a courtesy, I'll close it now. I'm now using openSuse 13.2, current and evergreen, yet it, too, uses an EOL LibreOffice. It may be a while before any distro I use includes an LO version that's not EOL. If someone else has a similar problem with a non-EOL version, they can reopen. Thanks.
