Bug ID: 166293
Summary: UI: Hold and move scrollbar, it doesn't jump back when
moving mouse (far) away from it
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.5.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When holding and moving a scrollbar the standard behaviour in nearly all
(Windows) applications is that the scrollbar will jump back to the position it
was in when you clicked on it if you move the mouse far enough away from it.
E.g. in Firefox: click-and-hold scrollbar on the right, drag it down, (while
still holding the mousebutton down) move the cursor to the left ~120 pixels.
Result: scrollbar jumps back to its original position, not moving anymore until
you move the cursor closer again. Releasing the button while at 120+ pixels
will release and keep the scrollbar at its original position.
Why is this useful? For example, to quickly check some data in your page/sheet
without losing track of where you were.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click (and keep holding) the scrollbar
2. Move scrollbar up/down or left/right
3. Move mouse away (perpendicular) from scrollbar
Actual Results:
Scrollbar keeps moving up/down or left/right along with the cursor
Expected Results:
Scrollbar should jump back to original position when the mouse is ~120 or so
pixels away from it.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
This has been bothering me for a loooong time on several different PCs and LO
builds, but I just never took the time to report it.
This may seem like a small thing, but it is such a useful feature if you're
used to it! Plus, it is the default behaviour in just about every other app out
there, shouldn't we want LO to adhere to universal standards like these?
Note: I ticked 'Calc' in 'Component', but this is an issue in Writer (and I'm
assuming all other apps) as well.
Note2: this happens in v7.5.5.2 and also/still in the just updated 24.8.6.1.
