[libreoffice-users] stop automatic scrolling

Good evening Probably this is a stupid question, but ... I noticed time and again, that LO starts scrolling and cannot be stopped, until the end of the file is reached, when I click below the blue rectacle on the right side scroll bar in order to get just a little further down. I have been looking

Greetings, I am not sure this is a LibreOffice problem. I have seen it in other applications, such as Firefox as well. I think it is an unstable mouse or mouse driver effect. I noticed it usually occurs when I am hovering the mouse cursor in the vertical scroll bar. I found that clicking s

I have also noticed this in various programs. Clicking in the scroll bar does stop it, and I haven't had it scroll past where the cursor is (if it's still in the scroll bar). This is primarily in newer versions of software, and my suspicion is that it's related to programming for mobile devic

I suspect that this is a feature of the mouse driver, and that it works in a variety of programs. I have noticed that when scrolling up or down thru a document using the scroll-wheel of the mouse. Something I do turns on an 'automated' scroll. I'll notice a new symbol on the screen (light bl

Hi :) I had forgotten but i've had this in the dim&distant past too but it's usually been a hardware/hygiene issue. To solve tons of these sorts of irritations i've had success doing things such as unplugging the mouse and then plugging it back in again (sometimes to a different usb-port), cleanin

I have had that same "uncontrolled" mouse scrolling before. Yes it seemed to be the mouse driver[s]. Never seen that "light blue" icon before, but I rarely use Windows and then it is mostly USB mice using default Windows internal drivers, not drivers from any media or downloads. I would n

Hi Tim :) That happens sometimes when you "click" the mouse wheel. The wheel doesn't look like a button but it often is on mice (mouses. micii?) made in the last few years. If you are not on Windows then you can probably configure it, 'globally' (ie for all apps on your machine), to do something
