Is it possible to adjust the scrolling speed in all LibreOffice apps? [closed]
Horizontal and vertical scrolling speeds are fast.
Within Calc: vertical scrolling jumps ~40 rows; horizontal scrolling jumps ~20 columns Within Writer: vertical scrolling jumps half a page
My goal is to make scrolling become less rapid
Operating system properties for scrolling have been reviewed. The discussed scrolling speeds do not carry over into either Chrome or Microsoft Office applications.
Please provide direction to necessary sections of coding or Option settings (although I have already done a quick review of LibreOffice Option settings)
Thank you for reviewing this topic

Which OS are you using?
I consider that scrolling speed is controlled by your OS.
I have just started using Libreoffice with a new Dell XPS laptop and noticed the too-fast-scrolling myself with the trackpad. I tried to upvote but since I just joined I was unable to.
LibreOffice is awesome but the most annoying feature is how poorly it handles mouse scrolling. I generally use a touchpad and scrolling is so chaotic it almost makes me want to go back to Word. I checked around the forums and the devs seem to think they fixed this bug. I do not experience this problem with any other program. It is definitely a bug with LibreOffice.
It's 2017 & this problem persists. I just switched to LibreOffice from OpenOffice ( Windows 8.1), & scrolling speed with my trackpad is so fast it's useless: I must use the down arrow. I adjusted the trackpad settings, and yes, that slows it down, but also in all other apps where it was normal. So now those apps are painfully slow. Using an external USB mouse works fine. This must be a bug in LibreOffice, and I hope there is a developer who takes on fixing it! Thank you all for your hard work.
I recently spoke with the developer of Smooze (a configurable mouse/scroll manager for macOS) to see if anything could be done about the horizontal scroll in LibreOffice. Unfortunately, it seems that LibreOffice has its own scroll implementation which is NOT controlled by the OS. This should really be considered a serious UX/UI deficiency and should be tended to.
I'm actually having a slightly opposite issue with my El Capitan mac and LO 5.3... where trying to scroll "down" or "right" is painfully unresponsive unless I mash it. But scrolling "up" and "left" is as responsive as it is in all other apps. Clearly the scrolling implementation in LO is buggy, lacking, broken. I hope they do fix it, as its the one thing right now blocking me from bailing entirely on MSO and going to LO.
