Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 59691
Vertical croll slider position should be updated "in time"
Last modified: 2006-03-01 02:55:23 UTC
The vertical scrollbar freezes if you press and hold Page Down. This happens with a big spreadsheet (maybe only when keyrepeat is set to quick). This behaviour makes it impossible to know how far down the spreadsheet you are since the indication the scroll-bar usually gives you is gone (it stays in the top until you either release the Page Down key or reaches the "end" of the spreadsheet). Open office should ALWAYS update the scrollbar when the view changes - it should never let it show the wrong position simly because page down is pressed too quickly. The scrollbar is part of the important visual feedback for navigating. Please try it yourself with the attached xls-file. Remember your keyrepeat speed might have to be turned up. Cheers -- David

Platform = Windows XP
qfilkin: please specify your OS and Platform!
I checked with "2.0.1 RC5 German version WIN XP: [680m1(Build8990)]" and can confirm the reported behaviour: the position of the scroll slider is not updated continuously. f I press and hold "page down", the slider remains at it's position until screen focus leaves cell area with contents.
Closing this one for now, as works for me with OOo2.0.2rc4 WinXP SP2. Feel free to reopen it if necessary (if reproducible with latest version) Hwoarang
