Description Barry Kaplan 2016-03-18 14:00:38 UTC 
I'm using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on an HP EliteBook 2540p. My LibreOffice installation is as follows (from the "About LibreOffice" screen):

Version: 5.1.0.3
Build ID: 10m0(Build:3)
CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.4; UI Render: GL; 
Locale: en-US (en_US.utf8)

I am reporting what I believe to be a bug/regression that affects at least the Writer and Calc modules.

On my installation, attempting to use trackpad edge scrolling in either the vertical or horizontal direction results in the page "bouncing" a short distance and then returning to the top (when scrolling in the vertical direction) or to the leftmost edge (when scrolling in the horizontal direction).

As well, interestingly, when I perform a rapid-scroll/ multi-page scroll in either direction, the scrolling will follow a short distance (perhaps a page or two), but then will bounce back to the top or left.

I do not experience this effect while using a conventional mouse's wheel.

I'm not sure what else I can tell you about this, but I'm very happy to try anything you need and report back.

Best Regards,
Barry
