            Bug ID: 139917
           Summary: Smooth scroll works opposite of that indicated by
                    checkbox
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: spokanemagneto at gmail.com

Description:
When you put the cursor at the bottom (or top) of the vertical scroll bar in a
long document and L-click to rapidly scroll down (or up) to quickly get roughly
where you want to in the document, the result is a very slow, herky-jerky
motion and is definitely NOT smooth. Ironically, the way to smooth the
scrolling is to deselect the smooth scroll function in: Tools>Options>LO
Writer>View. So, with Smooth scroll deselected, the scrolling in the manner
described becomes nice and smooth. 

Is there a reason anyone would want anything but smooth scrolling? 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose long document
2. L-click at the bottom of the vertical scroll bar

Actual Results:
Does not immediately start to scroll. Then jerks to a new location before
stalling for an eternity before taking about big step down the scroll bar.

Expected Results:
Smooth scrolling all the way down to the bottom of the document.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Need to ironically deselect the Smooth scroll function to get Writer to scroll
smoothly through the document.

As far as OpenGL is concerned, if I select that checkbox, it does not stay
checked and indicates that it is not used? Apparently, one has to download it
separately, but there are no instructions that I could find on how to do so
(what folder to put it in, what to name it, etc. for it to work with LO).
