Same issue: Dell XPS 9500 (2021) on Ubuntu 22.

Trackpad scrolling in Office Libre is exaggerated to the point of massive
inconvenience.  In Calc especially it is just totally out of control, its a
horrific mix of "sticky" and over-scrolling.  I'll swipe two fingers as slow as
I can and it just sits there, and then I slowly ramp up speed to try to get to
some point where it is just barely moving and it skips from not moving at all
to scrolling like three pages to the right with no in-between.  Then I have to
try the slow build up all over again in the other direction to try and get back
to where I was: stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck, stuck,*WARP FACTOR 10 ENGAGE!*. 
And now  have to try it again in the other direction, repeat ad nauseam. I am
spending more of my time in Calc trying to scroll to the right place than doing
actual work, its unusable like this.

The developers don't need to redo the system, if they could just add some
numeric variables with a wide range that users could poke around with on their
own in the options dialogue -- under say "General," or even better, one set of
trackpad scroll adjustment options for each of the Office sub-programs as they
all seem to handle trackpad scrolling in different ways at different levels of
frusterating exaggeration -- that small addition alone could fix everything. 
Literally, one would just go to options and put in like a "0.02" on the column
horizontal scroll adjustment and a "0.1" on the column vertical scroll
adjustment (or whatever feels right for your setup) and be done with it. 
Problem solved, programming time involved: like 1 hour tops, duration of
solution based on future updates: forever, value of 1 hour of work done:
completely priceless, gratitude from users: eternally grateful.
