(In reply to Karsten from comment #38) Please use some common sense!
We are discussing the [Scroll Lock] keyboard key here, not [Kbd Layout] key. This key was *intended* specifically for the purpose of modifying the behavior of arrow keys [1]; it was intended that this key woks as it was introduced in LibreOffice 5.3. So it *definitely* was implementing *the* standard behavior. Standard for all spreadsheet software (so industry best practices compliance); standard for keyboard design; standard for the vast majority of users. The behavior before that was *not* standard (and users imagining that any behavior of their favorite version X is "standard", are just proof of https://xkcd.com/1172/). And unlimited flexibility with every feature being configurable is bad. Bad for users; bad for maintenance. If we tried to do that, we wouldn't be able to improve the program. People wanted that feature since long ago (it was introduced in 2017 to implement tdf#46200 from 2012, which had many watchers, and itself referenced i#7179 from 2002). Those people who wanted the old behavior asked for that, and finally it arrived. Those who wrote things like comment 33 after that, are just ... let me not call things their proper names.

It's because Ubuntu is using Scroll Lock indicator (LED) to show state of layout switch, but in LibreOffice Scroll Lock state is used to switch between page's scrolling and jumping on cells.
