Description Peter 2017-04-19 15:03:22 UTC
Description:
when scrolling with touch pad the horizontal scroll bar moves to the opposite side  (while the vertical scroll bar moves fine)
This is not dependant of RTL or LTR documents (like reported earlier) and LO behaves opposite to all other applications installed (e.g. Firefox).

Actual Results:  
Moving finger to the right moves scroll bar to the left

Expected Results:
Moving finger on the touch pad to the right should move scroll bar to the right
(as moving finger up moves scrollbar up
and as moving finger to the right in any other application moves scroll bar to the right)


Reproducible: Always

Comment 3 Peter 2017-04-19 16:27:51 UTC
to be more precise:
works correct with mouse when holding middle button to scroll

but works not correct on touchpad with scroll areas defined at the borders neither with two finger scroll gesture
Comment 4 Dieter 2017-05-25 04:34:42 UTC
I also can't reproduce it in writer or in calc, using LO 5.3.3 and Win10 x64.
Comment 5 Peter 2017-08-02 21:14:51 UTC
Updated to 5.3.4.2 and still have this issue (and still only with libre office)
Comment 6 Chavdar 2017-10-16 17:23:55 UTC
Reproduced in Calc and Writer, LO 5.3.6.1, Win 10 x64

Lenovo ThinkPad w500. It has special touchpad with horizontal and vertical scrolling areas. Horizontal is not ok, vertical works fine.

Not reproduced Calc and Writer, LO 5.3.6.1, Win 10 x64

Lenovo G50-45 with simple touchpad using two fingers, scrolling works fine.

I guess we can move it to NEW based on comment 6.

Could it be possible to record a screencast ?

I didn't have this problem until updating to LO 6.3. Now the scrolling is messed up in horizontal direction. Running on Linux, both Flatpak and PPA builds affected.

System info:
Ubuntu 18.04 64bit (two systems, vanilla Ubuntu and elementary OS Juno)
Touchpad with horizontal scrolling & natural scrolling enabled on both systems.
Comment 12 Hayo Baan 2019-08-29 13:31:52 UTC
Never had this problem either, but now with 6.0.3, the horizontal scroll direction opposite of what it should be. Vertical scroll behaves as expected.

Mac OS X Mojave, Natural Scroll direction enabled.
Comment 13 Cliff 2019-09-07 15:55:58 UTC
This bug appeared on MacOS Mojave with libreoffice version 6.3.0 and now is also in version 6.2.7. VERY frustrating!

I can confirm that, at least in Calc (haven't tried it elsewhere), this is happening to me in 6.4.4. I hope the following information helps nail this bug down: I'm running Windows 10 x64 version 2004. It is NOT happening with two finger scroll -- just one finger scrolling at the edge of the touchpad. It's a Synaptics touchpad and the driver version is 19.4.3.38. I've checked in the touchpad software's scrolling practice and the horizontal scrolling goes in the direction I expect it to so this isn't a case of settings being incorrect.

Using MacOS Mojave, running LO 7.3.4.

All seems good at this point. LO behaves as every other app I have.

With the Scrolling Direction set to "Natural" the page movement is in the same direction as scrolling. This necessitates that the scroll bar moves in the opposite direction, i.e. scroll up and the bar moves down. To do otherwise would be wrong since the scroll bar indicates the position of the current view in relation the entire page. Scroll bar at the top means page at the top.

I must have been mistaken when I confirmed the bug as in my opinion it is not a bug. I don't understand how the original reporter could have said that the vertical scroll bar moved with the scrolling. In my opinion that would indicate a bug in the vertical direction display.

I recommend closing the bug as "not a bug" providing it is also good on Windows & Linux.
