           Summary: Font Size ComboBox is counter-intuitive
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: libreoffice
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: rugby471 at gmail.com


Quite an easy one here, but important none-the-less.

When a user scrolls up or down using the mouse-scroll wheel on the combobox
(drop-down box) in all components of LibreOffice, the font size changes in the
opposite way that the user would think.

For example, when a user scrolls up (thinking this should increase the font
size), the font-size actually decreases and vice versa.

To fix this problem, either the behaviour of this combobox on mouse-scroll
should be reversed, or (more appropriate in my opinion), the combobox should be
replaced by a spin button
(http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/GtkSpinButton.html). This is far
more suited for only numerical data and the scroll behaviour would then be
correct.
