Is it possible to adjust the scrolling speed in all LibreOffice apps? [closed]

edit

You might have a recent mouse with "Smooth scrolling" feature (or similar)… it is implemented sending much more wheel events and then scrolling less for each one on the application side, and in Chrome a plugin is installed for that effect. I know I de-activated mine because the applications response to the "new" events was not consistent and in the end I prefer to have the old "blocky" scroll which works everywhere than having "smooth" scrolling but only in a subset of applications.

I am having this issue with a Logitech MX2 Anywhere mouse.

It didn't happen with my old Microsoft mouse. This mouse has no issues with other applications.

I would suggest that this is an ongoing problem, and it appears to be device-specific? (I've noticed a lot of folks talking about the trackpad, mainly.)

I wanted to upvote this, but couldn't, because I'm new. (I've been a user for over a year, but I'm new to the forums.)

If you are on linux (and maybe even on a mac) then this might set your scrolling speed slower (copy paste it into a terminal window):

env SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk libreoffice --writer

It sets the environment variable 'SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN' to the value 'gtk' and then launches libre office writer. From what I understand this changes how libre office looks and behaves on input. So it changes how it gets the mouse input and makes the speed functional.

For me, setting the MMB in Options -> LibreOffice -> View to "no function" fixed the screel wheel problem ... it's now consistent with every other application on my Win10 system ...

Edit/Update: Regrettably, the multi-page-out-of-control scrolling still happens, once it starts I need to close and re-open Writer to get back to the line-wise scrolling ... so, something fundamentally wrong in LO it seems ... currently running 6.4.3.2.

Go to Tools > Options, and under LibreOffice, choose View. Set the Middle mouse button dropdown to Automatic scrolling. After doing this I found it was still fast but not so fast as to be unusable.

What I find annoying is that the scrollbar behaves differently from other apps on Windows 10. The scrollbar in LO seems to reflect the position in the document. So when you click below the current position marker, it moves the position in the document so that the current position marker moves to where you clicked. Similarly if you click above it. IE it behaves differently to other scrollbars on Windows 10. I think that's why it appears to move fast as it's moving the view to where you've clicked. In order to achieve anything like normality is to use the PAGE-UP and PAGE-DOWN keys. Or alternatively drag the current position marker until you see the bit of the document you want. What would be really great is if the behaviour changed to what other apps do in Windows 10 or alternatively provide an option so that people can decide how they want the scrollbars to behave.

I encountered similar problem too. When I scroll down LO Calc it scrolls too fast. Three rows contain text that extends cells' height so theese cells' height is approximately equals to work area height. When I try to do minimum scroll movement, and work area jumps so the 4-th row is at the top of the work area. The issue with scroll working dependently of row height. It is very ugly behavior. Please, fix it.

I am having the same problem in OS X. I can't use scrollwheels. Too painful. Too painful by far. I use a special scrolling app. I have reasonable scrolling speeds in other apps, but now suddenly have lightning-fast migraine-worsening scrolling speeds, and no control in LibreOffice.

This happens to me occassionally. It starts to scroll 100+ lines at a time, and even trying to zoom in and out using CTRL+Wheel makes it really big or really small.

I simply closed everything and rebooted my computer and it works normally again.

I wish there was a logical solution, but since I can't find one, this seems to be the way to go for me.

in Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center, select your device, and then select Basic settings. Depending on the mouse model you are using, select Wheel or Touch Strip. Select Identify programs that don’t scroll correctly.
