Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 116958
Zoom Slider Control Responds without Mouse Down Event
Last modified: 2017-05-20 09:52:55 UTC
I believe that UI controls should only respond when they receive a mouse down event. The zoom control of OOo320m18 Build 9502 (OpenOffice.Ord 3.2.1) responds to a mouse up event when the mouse pointer drifts over the control after a mouse down event has happened over the horizontal scroll bar. This continually causes havic on a very large spreadsheet on a large monitor with a tiny mouse pointer. Carefully following a row as one scrolls for dozens of columns only to have the sheet explode or disappear causes great confusion ... and it happens several times per hour of use. Although the idea behind the scroll widget is really great, I would gladly disable it if I could until it is fixed. TO REPRODUCE: This will work best on a wide-screen monitor of at least 22" with the spreadsheet set to full-screen. 1. Create a spreadsheet with at least 500 columns (the number of rows is unimportant) 2. Starting with the scroll thumb under column 1, drag the thumb all the way to the right - do not release the mouse button. 3. Move the mouse pointer down until it is hovering over the zoom control. 4. Release the mouse button. --> If the pointer was over the zoom control to the left or to the right of the current position of the zoom slider, the spreadsheet will change the zoom factor accordingly and instantly.
Outcome is expected when mouse is not released in step 2.
Recheck and comparison to Excel 2010.
