[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 46429] scrolling switches to zooming

--- Comment #17 from jeromeflipo at gmail.com ---
This issue is the biggest annoyance I've ever encountered while working with
LibreOffice.

I'm running into this issue more than 5 times per every hour spent with Calc,
only because I scroll and press the Cmd key a millisecond before the inertial
scroll has finished (e.g to copy a selected cell). I end up zooming the sheet
in and out to stupid levels for no good reasons, to a point I can't see
anything and have to reset the zoom every few minutes.

I'm no developer so I can't suggest fix but I'm stunned that this hasn't been
resolved over the past 6 years.

How do other Mac Calc users cope with such a frequent and exasperating problem?
Is Calc never used on Mac by developers so that only quiet users experience
this, or just stop using Calc? 

Do other users wait patiently for the inertial scroll to stop, after forcing
themselves to slow down their use of Calc to avoid this single issue?

Do other power users simply disable inertial scrolling at the OS level
altogether? In my experience, this is just trading a huge annoyance with
another and both are insufferable on daily computer usage.

More importantly, why would any one want one scroll move to turn from scroll to
zoom in the same gesture?! How can this be helpful in any way? Why not stop the
scroll as soon as a Cmd/Ctrl key is pressed? Is this technically impossible? If
so, why not simply allow users to disable the "Cmd+Scroll to zoom" option
somewhere in the preferences?

Please. Help. I'm as mad as hell and I can't take this anymore. I'm really
considering switching back to proprietary software because of this one tiny bug
:'(
