Bug ID: 98298
Summary: Awful new scrolling behaviour for mouse click in
scroll bar
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.1.0.3 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: l...@zeta.org.au
I noticed a new feature which I'm hoping might be something in Gnome3 that I
can turn off in LO: as of the upgrade from 5.0.3.2 to 5.1.0.3, if I click in
the scroll bar, instead of paging forward (if I click below the scroll-thumb)
or back one page (if I click above it), it now painfully pages forward,
redrawing each page, until it reaches the point that I'd reach if I dragged the
scroll-thumb to that point.
I made the mistake of doing this in a 400-page document with many comments
(i.e., interactivity is very laggy and slow anyway), a distance of about 200
pages forward. Not only did this single mouse click lock up all LO windows
while the next 10 mins passed as it struggled to the new point in the document,
but it interacted awfully with the desktop: I couldn't click to focus on any
desktop item; the most I could do was use Alt-tab to bring different windows to
focus.
If you must jump to the scroll position, rather than scroll by 1 page as LO
used to, at a mouse click, please, I beg you, don't do it incrementally one
page at a time with a redraw for each. It's torture!
