I'm on both a MacBook and an iMac running Tiger, and on both systems
while using the OpenOffice Spreadsheet program I encounter a
frustrating problem. When I use either a scroll wheel on a mouse or
the laptop trackpad scrolling function, open office starts the
scrolling in a choppy way and then it goes on and on continuously
with me being unable to stop it. I'm down to the bottom of a long
spreadsheet after only intending to scroll down a couple of page
lengths. Anybody know of a fix for this? Any similar problems out
there?
Is it possible that you are using the scroll wheel the wrong
way? They sometimes operate in two modes. In one, you need only to
roll the wheel with a light finger touch to scroll the document. In
the other, you first press the wheel, much as you would click the
mouse buttons. This creates a mark on the screen where the mouse
was. If you now move the mouse up or down the screen, the document
scrolls in the appropriate direction and at a speed that depends on
the distance your mouse pointer is from the mark. The scrolling
continues until you either click the scroll wheel (or any mouse
button) again, or press a key. Is it possible that you are mixing up
these two modes and trying to drag the scroll wheel to scroll the document?
Otherwise, you may like to check the mouse settings in your operating
system's settings. Or check that you have the latest driver for your mouse.
Or it could be a problem with Calc ...
