             Bug #: 44230
           Summary: : LibO bug reporting page has nested scrollable areas
                    that are difficult to use
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
 Status Whiteboard: BSA
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: WWW
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


The bug reporting page at https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/ has a
scrollable area within the page, that can become very long once it is populated
with the titles of the bug reports that match the user's selections for
component, subcomponent and version.  The page is itself scrollable, which
means we have a long scrollable area nested within a shorter one.  

This is a bit of a no-no for user interface design: if the inner scrollable
area is scrolled to the bottom and the page is also scrolled to the bottom, the
user cannot scroll the inner area back to the top without also having to scroll
the page back to the top, and vice versa for starting at the top and moving to
the bottom.  

As far as I can tell there is no good reason to have an inner scrollable area
within the page.  I would suggest that its scrollability be dispensed with,
that the whole of this area be displayed on the page, so the length of this
area could simply be handled by scrolling the entire page.
