Bug ID: 162923
Summary: Scroll with wheel stops working after switching
between windows or getting out of focus
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.1.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
If you are using many applications at the same time, after clicking out of
libreoffice and clicking in again, scrolling in the document using the wheel
stops working. The workaround to make it work again is to switch windows using
ALT + Tab shortcut, however this is anoying because it reduces the speed and
flow of work, given that it's possible to scroll only if libreoffice is focused
after using ALT + Tab (it's not even possible to scroll while out of focus by
just moving the cursor over the window without clicking and using the wheel,
somenthing almost any other application allows to do).
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any libreoffice app and any other app appart of libreoffice
2. with Libreoffice app focused, click in the other app to focus it
4. Move the coursor over the libreoffice window (without clicking) and try to
scroll using the wheel
3. Click again in the libreoffice app and try to scroll using the wheel
Actual Results:
It doesn't scroll if it isn't in focus, also it doesn't scroll if it's in focus
but you switched windows by click.
Expected Results:
Allow to scroll in focus and without focus, even after switching windows by
click
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
