Libre Calc should by default scroll wheel up or down according the sensitivity of the mouse scroll wheel rather than one row at a time.

I often have rather big cells. This causes the scrolling system to bounce around from row to row making the spreadsheet a pain to navigate.

If I have my mouse set to scroll three lines at a time the spreadsheet should only scroll up or down 3 lines, not one row.

Please fix this bug. Thank You.

Although I agree with the request, the issue is not true on Windows with LibODev 5.1. Cells are scrolled by three lines, as configured (I guess, at least it's the same at Excel). Will try on Linux this evening.

Checked again with Linux and it works the same. You wheel-scroll by three lines. If you want to go down/up only one line, which would be of interest when less than three lines are shown at once, you can use the scrollbar arrows. Some themes hide these inputs, for no good reason IMHO. Adwaita is one of those but not Raleigh. Both should be delivered with every up-to-date distribution.

On the other hand, things become recalcitrant when the line height exceeds the available space as there is no smooth scrolling. This was reported in bug 70525 and set as INVALID because of missing reply. And it wasn't requested here.
