Sorry for a long answer. I have tested the smooth scrolling the way you
suggested and it still didn't work. 

However, even if it did, got to admit this is a rather useless implementation
for a smooth scrolling mechanism since it does not work with two most used
scrolling techniques: with a mouse wheel and with PageUp / PageDown buttons. 

Hope developers will consider changing this behavior, it would improve UX
dramatically, especially in Calc. Just due to this one detail LO feels a lot
more choppy and less useful compared to MS office.
