--- Comment #10 from Georg <[email protected]> ---
>From me as a user, my perspective is that this is a serious bug (though I can
understand that from a developers perspective this is probably more a nuisance
or an enhancement request at best).

I feel the whole idea of merged cells vs. large single cell is not
user-friendly when it comes to scrolling. Visually, both are quite close
(though merged cells are more flexible). Scrolling wise, single cells are a
nightmare right now and what is worst, they are an unexpected nightmare,
especially in documents (and I have and do create those) with a mixture of
large single cells (in my use case for single quotations) and merged cells (in
my use case denoting the range of cells dedicated to the author of those
quotes). 

Scrolling becomes near unpredictable and unnavigable in these cases unless you
pay very close attention to the left-hand row numbering spacing all the time
and even then it is very difficult to land where you intended to go.

Now you could say of course, spreadsheets were not designed for these. But then
I'll say that 1. they do allow it by design and 2. it is very bad design and
user experience to allow for something and then tell users that they should not
do it.

So please, do fix this implementation bug. The current scroll implementation
really does confuse quite some people who are using LibreOffice Calc in normal
and reasonable ways.

Make it optional if you prefer, as apparently and not surprisingly given
overall quality of the software, there are diverse people using Calc in diverse
ways.
