--- Comment #65 from [email protected] ---
I have been experiencing this bug (or design flaw) for a while now, but I have
not bothered to create a bugzilla account and report my experience until now. I
am merely a casual libreoffice user, if there is such a thing, and therefore I
likely know the least among everyone here as to how libreoffice or even
software/programming in general works. I mainly just use Writer.

In my case, I operate an LG Gram laptop with Windows 10, Version 10.0.19045,
Build 19045. My current libreoffice installation is version 7.5.5.2, but as I
have said before I have had this issue for a while now and indeed experienced
it in recent, past versions. If I can provide anymore information that would be
useful, please let me know.

As others have reported, when I scroll through a libreoffice document with a
trackpad (in my case in Writer) I jump several lines away from the line that I
wanted to read, edit, or write. The scrolling is highly sensitive. I have grown
so accustomed to such sensitivity that I sometimes glide through dozens of
pages in the larger documents I have written just for the fun of it (even
though I could just use Navigator to jump to the section I need to see). At my
gentlest touch, I can sometimes scroll to the subsequent line I want to read.
It takes much effort and precision, though, and I more often than not skip over
that next line I need to read. Yet, with any other application or software, in
Microsoft Word (before I switched to Libreoffice) I can scroll just fine. I can
smoothly scroll back and forth with ease. The contrast between scrolling in
Libreoffice versus any other application is almost astoundingly bad, until one
gets used to it. 

I hope that some talented developer/programmer, or someone in the main team of
The Document Foundation, takes a look at this issue and assigns a fix to a
future update. I do appreciate that Libreoffice is a community driven project,
but I personally do not know anyone with the skill and permission to develop
such a patch. I do not know who to contact, or if it is even possible to
contribute to some kind of fund that would entice a willing developer. This bug
is not of dire importance; it does not risk breaking the software. Yet, it does
an incredible job of destroying Libreoffice's ease of use. And for someone like
me, a person that sits on their butt all day writing on a latptop, such an
issue is significant. (I write some of this in jest.)
