I landed on this page from one of the duplicates. I would like to extend the issue to "Cell with large dimensions make LibreOffice Calc impossible/unpleasant to work with".
Issue details: In my daily work I have to deal with CSV and other form of spread sheets that have lengthy texts as the cell values (typically column names) and when I scroll horizontally the jump are as big as the width of the column that just had disappeared! Suggestion: It would be wise to have an option in the preferences to let user choose between "smooth scrolling" and "legacy scrolling". I'll be happy to provide testcase if the explanation I provided is not clear enough. This is a serious issue and it is slightly worrying that it has been almost 8 years since this issue have been reported and yet no tangible action have been taken so far! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1793124 Title: Scrolling on Calc leaves content invisible if cell is higher than screen Status in LibreOffice: Confirmed Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I sometimes receive Calc documents where the content of an individual cell is split on so many lines that it fills up the whole screen and more. I can easily see the top part of these cells but scrolling to the bottom does not seem to work. Whether I try dragging the scrollbar or moving the screen with my laptop’s touchpad, Calc seems to skip the bottom part of the cell and jump directly to the following cell. See the attached screenshots of a document which has numbers 1 to 50 so that numbers 4 to 40 occupy one single cell (A4). In the first screenshot I see the top part of that cell (4 to 23) and in the next I have scrolled down the screen as little as possible, and now I see cell A5 (number 41) on the top. Everything in between is visually inaccessible whatever I try.
