I posted a reply earlier in which I recalled vaguely that Chromium may
be the Lubuntu default browser because Firefox is more memory-hungry.
Be that as it may, Firefox runs nicely on the LTSP client and is not
subject to this choppy scrolling problem. So the bug report comment

One reason why scrolling might be very choppy is when the clients have
very little RAM and they need to use swap all the time.

I thought about that, but haven't tried it yet because I assumed it
would not do well on clients with specs like these and lower. Also
because I'm a Linux newbie and simply haven't done more than glance at
the documentation for running local apps.

Thanks for the relevant info.
I have a vague recollection that Firefox is more memory-hungry than
Chromium. And if so, that may explain why Chromium is the default
browser for Lubuntu. But I'll just try Firefox to see how it compares
on this.

Does no one else experience this? Or is there simply no solution?
To be perhaps more descriptive of what I mean by choppy: When using the
scroll button on the terminal, instead of scrolling down smoothly and
then stopping immediately when scroll is released, the display steps
down the page an
With fully updated Lubuntu 12.04 on a server with an AMD 3400+ and
512MB, and a terminal with a PIII 600 MHz and 128MB, I find that the
scrolling in Chromium 18 on the terminal is choppy.
The same result on a terminal with Celeron 500 MHz and 196MB.
This is the case even with mostly text conte
