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.

[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.

RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: Engaging users: initial results of the survey
For what it's worth... I'm just a casual user of LO. It was installed on my new computer when I bought it a year and a half ago. I got on this list because the spell checker wouldn't work. I've remained here because a) I sometimes learn stuff and b) I like it when you guys disagree with one an other (or someone) and have arguments. It's a little bit of diversion for an old man. And I enjoy Anne Ology's occasional remarks too :-) Anyway, I started taking the survey but couldn't finish it because as others have said it seemed to be somehow steering me. It didn't have the check boxes I wanted!!! -Original Message- From: Charles-H.

Schulz a écrit : Hi Charles, Whilst I appreciate the effort in designing such a survey and the objective behind it, I too, must admit that the survey was not worded in a way in which I felt comfortable responding. Indeed, it seemed to be distinctly biased towards getting the participants to answer in a given direction. Next time I'm sure you can join us in the weeks during which we discussed the survey on the marketing and project's list :-) I hope you are making a list of the concerns voiced in this thread, and the other thread about the survey. That will give you additional points to look at for the next survey. Ken, I am not only making a list, I am reading this thread and the other one about LibreOffice vs. MSO with great attention. Lots of stuff to digest but lots of things to say from my side as well. Additionally, I would question the statistical relevance of 600 responses, when the project is alleged to have tens/hundreds of thousands of users. If only 600 hundred people took the time to respond, what does this say about : - penetration of the product; I honestly would not think there's relevant data for this in the survey and from the respondents. - reach of the survey; Good question with no easy answer. The survey was localized in 5 languages aside English. The link was posted here and on the several other users mailing lists. The word was spread on the Facebook LibreOffice page and Google+ and to a lesser extent on Twitter. Once I've said this I guess I didn't say much. Here are two additional facts: - the survey was not translated (and not propagated) to three countries where we know we have an active community and anywhere between a non trivial number of users up to a large number of them: Russia, Japan, Brazil. Judging by the survey results, it would seem that their impact has been minimal or virtually non-existent. So the survey reached out to some categories of users, but not all of them. I'd be however confident in stating that the users that responded are representative of the LibreOffice users in general. Let's work with Alex's comment there were 600 responses to the survey. You often read how LO has thousands and thousands of users. Just to make it simple, let's say there's 100,000 users. That's probably miniscule to MSO and possibly even WordPerfect. That means, at best you got the opinions of .6% of the users. Personally, I would never consider that to be representative of the user base, especially when you noted in the next paragraph of the limitation of the survey's distribution. I would seriously consider junking this survey's results, using it as a learning experience, and doing a better survey. Really, all you have is the opinions of the users of the mailing list, not users in general. You are right on your last statement however I still maintain that this fraction of users which is by the way even smaller than 0.6% is representative of the users in that the respondents have concerned that are similar to everyone else. One other point on the survey is that it did not pop out from my head. It was designed over the course of over a week by a team of contributors. And this team was open to anyone (hence my remark to Alex). - the survey could have had a bigger and much deeper outreach if it had been pushed directly to the users, say at the installation phase or even through a mechanism allowing users to respond to it via the StartCenter. That was obviously not the case, so in the end we reached out the users who are on the project's mailing list and connected to us through our social networks. This leaves out plenty of users irrespective of their language. - design of the survey; What would you like to know? The survey was designed in order to be progressive in its

Many people who contribute to the LibreOffice project discussed the need for us to understand how we could enroll regular users (whatever that means) to the LibreOffice project. You obviously know that LibreOffice is Free Software and that it comes with rights and freedoms for you. But besides that LibreOffice is a software development project populated by a community of people who contribute their time and skills (and many skills are required, not just the technical ones!) on a volunteer or on a paid basis. But when we come to think of it, these people started somewhere, one day, to contribute, and while they all have their own reasons, we (the people in charge of marketing) thought that everybody has the ability to contribute.

We worked on a short survey that's anonymous (we don't require your name nor your email) and we would really like it if you could take a few minutes of your time to answer these questions.

Re. Tom Davies To get back to factory defaults and 'switch off' all Extensions just rename your User Profile. I did this (renamed my User Profile) and now spell check works for me in LibreOffice (Writer) 3.5.4.2 on Windows 7. -Original Message- From: Dan Hall [mailto:dih...@myfairpoint.net] Sent: Saturday, October 13, 2012 2:53 PM To: 'Dan Hall'; 'Lostsoul'; users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: RE: [libreoffice-users] Re: Auto and Manual Spell do not work . .
