Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 112768
Scrolling with table activated
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:39:27 UTC
With a table inserted and selected, use of the scroll arrow on either scroll bar to nudge page over a bit can send page continually jerking along until it reaches the limits of the usable area (well off page itself). Nothing will stop it, Esc does not work, and all menus for any function are unusable until it finishes the scroll action and bounces back a couple of nudges. This problem is not always happening, but usually after a couple of nudges in one direction, and then one in the other, off it goes, and again and again.. Typically when you have several table/text boxes on a page, you may wish to move along to another. Particularly annoying is when close up and zoomed in, in which case the uncontrollable scroll takes ages to complete its journey, before any menus work again. This only happens with the scroll arrows, not the slider.
The only thing that was reproducible here is a kind "reservoir of clicks". When clicking several times on the scroll arrow the repaint of the view is not as fast as the clicking (especially when a table is in the view). Every click will be executed as a scroll after another. Even when you have stopped clicking all former clicks will be executed. Is that what you mean? Does the problem also occure if you keep the arrow pressed?
