Re: [libreoffice-users] stop automatic scrolling
I have had that same uncontrolled mouse scrolling before. Yes it seemed to be the mouse driver[s]. Never seen that light blue icon before, but I rarely use Windows and then it is mostly USB mice using default Windows internal drivers, not drivers from any media or downloads. I would not want to keep scrolling when I stop moving my mouse. I could not stand it when it happened that one time. The only scrolling option in LO seems to be smooth scrolling, which seems to be checked as default with my DEB 64 bit install of 4.2.2.1.

RE: [libreoffice-users] stop automatic scrolling
If you press straight down on the mouse wheel and listen carefully you should hear a click and then the icon (a double arrow pointing up and down with a dot between them) appears. I believe it's a mouse 'feature' so you can scroll up and down the page without holding down the left mouse button. I often activate that feature accidently when using the mouse wheel. I'm using Windows 7. -Dan Hall -Original Message- From: Kracked_P_P---webmaster [mailto:webmas...@krackedpress.com] Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2014 9:15 AM To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] stop automatic scrolling I have had that same uncontrolled mouse scrolling before.

Re: [libreoffice-users] stop automatic scrolling
Hi Tim :) That happens sometimes when you click the mouse wheel. The wheel doesn't look like a button but it often is on mice (mouses. micii?) made in the last few years. If you are not on Windows then you can probably configure it, 'globally' (ie for all apps on your machine), to do something else or to do nothing.

Re: [libreoffice-users] stop automatic scrolling
Hi :) I had forgotten but i've had this in the dimdistant past too but it's usually been a hardware/hygiene issue. To solve tons of these sorts of irritations i've had success doing things such as unplugging the mouse and then plugging it back in again (sometimes to a different usb-port), cleaning the mouse (or surface of the track-pad) and the mouse-pad (or chucking it and using the table-top instead until that gets dirty too), rebooting the machine (this one has obviously been tried). Running standard update procedure for which-ever OS. Even once or twice updating drivers for the Human Interface Device (ie, mouse) (errr, only in Windows because other OSes automatically update drivers as part of the standard update). I've even completely dismantled a few mice (mouses?), even optical ones (when unplugged jic) and been amazed at the weird gunk inside. With keyboards it's a good idea to shake them upside-down but avoid being under it as the shower of paper-clips (even tho i've not used any nor been anywhere near paper-clips for about a decade they still seem to appear), crumbs, weird dust, hairs that don't even look human (hopefully). I've even dismantled a few and thoroughly cleaned but then been unable to get the space-bar back in (isn't that where astronauts drink?). Anti-bac wipes across keyboards and mices surfaces shouldn't hurt much either, right? At client's or colleagues desks i just plug in a 'new' one, check it works and take the old one away to clean it (or bin it) out-of-sight. Not possible for a track-pad obviously! For them a wipe with a dryish damp cloth and then one of those cotton buds (that shouldn't be used for cleaning ears) to twizzle around the edges. I tend to see all this as fairly routine maintenance (ie to be avoided at all costs until it's too late and i regret not doing it all earlier). Even the cleanest and most hygienic people shed skin over the years, plus skins have natural oils to protect against all-sorts @ Dan Hall, please post as a fresh new question. Actually the international translators occasionally solve this problem quite often for people. Generally it's due to things like the regionalisation of the Operating System mis-matching the language installed with LibreOffice or Tools - Options - Language Settings not having the correct language selected. Sometimes the correct dictionaries are not installed on the OS so there's nothing for LO to grab onto. Most of these sorts of things are more likely in Windows but they occasionally happen in other OSes too. Please let people know which OS (Xp, right?) when you post the fresh new question. Really kind of the shop to set it up wrong and then sell you more stuff! Around where i live therre are tons of shops but only 2 i trust as almost all the others have shafted me over the years. Pc World seems to be the worst although Currys/Dixons were appalling the one time a client used them (and apparently ripped of tons of other people over the whole Sony Vaio case too). The 2 i trust are small independent businesses that actually deliver more than they promise.

Clicking in the scroll bar does stop it, and I haven't had it scroll past where the cursor is (if it's still in the scroll bar). This is primarily in newer versions of software, and my suspicion is that it's related to programming for mobile devices or tablets. I do have one application where clicking in the scroll bar causes the list to jump to the point where the click was done; I'll see if the developers can tell me whether there's any correlation.

[libreoffice-users] RE: [LibreOffice-users] stop automatic scrolling
I too have seen this a couple of times lately. I don't remember what I was doing though. Windows 7, 64 bit. I have LibreOffice installed but very rarely use it. I use Outlook 2003 (MS Office 2003) for my email. I bought a new computer in May of 2012 with LibreOffice 3.5 installed. The spell checker didn't work in Writer didn't work. The only thing the private shop that sold me the computer could tell me at the time was that LibreOffice was having a problem and they would let me know when it was fixed. This is when I signed on to this list. Still frustrated, because I can's spell for s**t I demanded 'service' from the shop that sold me my new computer. So they generously sold me a copy of MS Office for $25, a reduction of $10 from their usual price of $35 sold only with a new computer. I saw this behavior of the screen scrolling down to the bottom of the vertical scroll bar (I believe on a web page, or in Outlook 2003, as I looked on helplessly. Of course it's possible I was in LibreOffice somewhere looking for a problem reported here to see if I could see it. For the last 8 years of my working career, going from railroading to QA in a small software publishing house, and then another. Four years in each. -Dan Hall -Original Message- From: Girvin Herr [mailto:girvin.h...@sbcglobal.net] Sent: Friday, March 21, 2014 5:11 PM To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] stop automatic scrolling Greetings, I am not sure this is a LibreOffice problem.

I have been looking, and searching the help documentation for automatic scrolling (or similar expressions), but could not find yet the trick to make LO stop this. (it is really annoying, when you are taken to place you don't want to go to) How do you stop, or customize, this behavior. Thank you.

Re: [libreoffice-users] stop automatic scrolling
I have also noticed this in various programs. Clicking in the scroll bar does stop it, and I haven't had it scroll past where the cursor is (if it's still in the scroll bar). This is primarily in newer versions of software, and my suspicion is that it's related to programming for mobile devices or tablets. I do have one application where clicking in the scroll bar causes the list to jump to the point where the click was done; I'll see if the developers can tell me whether there's any correlation.

I think it is an unstable mouse or mouse driver effect. I noticed it usually occurs when I am hovering the mouse cursor in the vertical scroll bar. I found that clicking somewhere in the vertical scroll bar usually stops it. I haven't seen it lately, but then maybe I stopped hovering the mouse cursor in the vertical scroll bar.
