Description Nikola Rajačić 2011-11-10 11:54:59 UTC
With the mouse wheel set to move "one screen at a time" (in the Windows Control Panel), when scrolling with it, writer just moves to the begining of the next/previous page.

The expected behaviour (as seen in other similar programs) would be scrolling the the page in the wanted direction for a length equal to the vertical lenght of the area visible at the current zoom level.

Basically, it should move for about as much as pressing pgup/pgdown would, without moving the caret.

Thanks for bugreport
Please, verify if in last version of LibreOffice still reproducible
Comment 2 Nikola Rajačić 2012-03-07 04:05:42 UTC
Can confirm for 3.5.1 RC1, the latest version available for download @ the site.
Comment 3 sasha.libreoffice 2012-03-07 05:21:06 UTC
Thanks for additional testing. I also reproduced it on Windows XP 32 bit
Comment 4 Hb 2013-02-24 10:24:26 UTC
Reproducible in 4.0.2 under Windows7 64bit too.

Sure that this is an UI bug?
Comment 5 Hb 2013-02-24 10:44:50 UTC
UI related page-by-page navigation issue in bug 51241.
Comment 6 Hb 2013-02-25 07:05:53 UTC
A temporary help is given by programs which change the Mouse Wheel events to PageUp/PageDown keystrokes. 

1. Download http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm 
2. Add a handler set for the application soffice.bin.
3. For Wheel Up set Simulated Keys (pressed)[{PGUP]}
