Description jjroper 2008-05-13 20:18:09 UTC
In both Writer and Calculator, if I click the mouse on the scroll bar (not the
buttons, but on the slider bar itself) the program starts scrolling down the
page and won't stop until it gets to the end.

I checked with "3.0.0 Beta Multilingual version English UI WIN XP: [300m2
(Build9301)]" and can NOT confirm the reported effect.

I have a similar problem in OOo Calc 3.0.0 (build 9358) and have had it
previously on my OOo Calc 2.4.1 installation (OS: Windows XP).
There seems to be an old but rare problem with scrolling. I guess that the
closed issues #3358 [worksforme] and #13427 [invalid] refer to the same issue,
maybe even #3384 [invalid]. 

What happens on my system:
- scrolling with mouse scroll wheel = OK
- scrolling by single clicks on the scroll bar arrows = OK
- marking columns/rows within the visible area = OK
- moving the slider (as described in issue) = OK on my system, but:
- keeping the scroll button pressed = leads to runaway scrolling (not always to
the end but to variable distances e.g. 80-200 cells) which cannot be interrupted
by mouse clicks, ESC etc.
- marking columns/rows beyond the visible area = also leads to runaway scrolling

It is rather rare issue. I have the same effect with OOo 3.0 and 3.0.1 at WinXP
Pro SP3. The discussion on this issue continues more then 6 months already at
Russian community forum - we can't detect any regularity.

Not reproducible for me!
Same problem as in Issue 94056?

I have a similar problem quite regularly in word processor multiple clicks on the up down arrow buttons or on the scroll bar initiate runaway scrolling that wont stop or be interrupted by a click in the document. Single clicks are slow in response and are not smooth and some times the scrolling extends way beyond where a normal 1 click would move you in the doc so you have to wait for it to finish because clicking in the dock or on the arrow button of the opposite direction will not stop the scrolling.  Its quite irritating because it won't stop until it reaches the end of the document for multiple button or scroll bar clicks and it wont stop for single clicks until its gone a half a page or more and its super slow.  as it scrolls the lines are often half shown and doubled and one time the characters in the document weren't visible until it reached the next page.   I also have had same problem but scrolling stops after some unspecified distance down in the doc (usually about a half page or so)  Also, when cursor hits the end of the visible portion of the doc it lurches down to the bottom of the document instead of smoothly scrolling down to the next lime and the next so on and so forth.  

using xp prof 2002 SP3 Toshiba with amd turion 64x2 Technology TL-60 2.00 ghz 896 mb ram (I know it's archaic but I am not made of money and have to work with what i have).   writer build 9590 version 3.4.0  

I am not a developer or a software geek so most of this info contained in this bug reporting site is way over my head.  I am just a user who need an it guy to fix anything major so if I dont follow protocol its cuz I dont have time to teach myself everything I needed to know to use this site in an orderly manner and as directed

oops, I put my comment about runaway scrolling in the wrong place with the wrong product .  it belongs with the writer product complaints about scrolling.  sorry

Maybe a hardware issue?
Never encountered this phenomena.
