Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 46022
Writer: Scrolling should stop at each page it passes
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:33:19 UTC
Scrolling in "Print Layout" view should stop and align to each page it passes. This gives a much neater feel to scrolling than just scrolling a preset fraction of a window's worth of text each time and almost never aligning to a page. MSWord97 does this, and it's definitely a nice feature. I tested MSWord with a few page and window heights and it does this con- sistently, so it certainly shouldn't go against any official or unofficial standards.
After further testing, I see MSWord97 only does this if the scrolling starts out aligned to a page. Scrolling up has less tendency to align to pages. It would be nice if Writer always tried to snap to to page boundaries even when scrolling starts out unaligned. This would be an improvement on the scrolling behaviour in Writer (and MSWord97).
Reassigned to requirements.

This "problem" isn't solved in my OO 3 beta Version (Mac OSX). It's very unpleasan to scroll down and neven know, where I was with my reading. MsWord does it better. It's really a requirement.
