--- Comment #74 from miles <mlzarathus...@gmail.com> ---
This is a very old bug, which is surprising considering how obvious and
annoying it is. I seem to remember the same ridiculous behavior at least as far
back as 2005. 

Part of the problem is that Libre office scrolling only ever jumps by three
lines (on my system).  I call that a bug. 

It never scrolls a single line at a time, even when using the arrow keys. It's
very distracting when one is trying to read, because it's painful to track
where the line you're reading went. No smoothness at all, just a jump.

If you like the jumpy behavior, fine, but please give me an option to scroll a
line at a time so I don't go crazy trying to follow the text. From the comments
on the internet, nobody likes the jumpy behavior. 

That, plus Libre Writer, unlike every other application on the machine, skips
way too fast when scrolling by touchpad - and there is NO adjustment in Libre.
I've tried all the options suggested in various forums, but of course none of
them work.

As a developer I'd love to jump in and fix this, but being unfamiliar with the
code I might make it worse. 

Please please please, if you're a Libre developer, don't add some shiny new
feature. Please fix this terrible longstanding bug.  

Demonstrating that this problem goes back at least to 2015:
