Hello all,
Just installed LibreOffice (Fresh) and i'm having the weirdest issue.
On any part of LO (documents, menus), when scrolling via the touchpad's edge, up or down, LO always tries to scroll up.
That is, I place the cursor at the middle of the document and scrolls down, the document scrolls to the beginning (up). If I scroll up, the result is the same (up).
The only way to scroll down is by doing lots of small, fast scrolls down, so the document kind of jumps up and down, but going down slowly.
Any ideas? it drives me nuts, Adam.

I don't know way, but I have the same issue, try to give more details. I use xfce4, i tried to adjust my touch pad settings but nothing worked.

Same here.
There is already a bug opened on Document Foundation.
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/sho … i?id=97851
Tested with internal touchpad with edge scroll and also with external touchpad with 2 finger scroll.
Issue persists.
It was mentioned that with normal mouse, the scroll is working. Didn't tested yet.
Using Cinnnamon DE.

To all those affected. Instead of posting useless "me too's", wait for libreoffice 5.1.1 to get into the repos and see if the issue is fixed or not.

Running libreoffice with GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1 as indicated in mapintar's link fixed the problem for me.

Arrived here after searching for the same issue. The solution (workaround?) above works here. Thanks!

Solved here if use testing/libinput (version 1.2.0-1) over pure wayland.
Not tested over xorg.

The issue seems to be fixed now. (I am not sure, which update fixed it, but maybe it was libinput-1.2.1)
However, even though it is not scrolling upwards anymore, the scroll speed is much slower, than it used to be. When running libreoffice with GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1, the scroll speed is still normal, as it should be.
EDIT: It is not related to the libinput package, I am not using it anyway. To be sure, I pacman -Rdd 'ed libinput (only qt5-base was depending on it), and libreoffice still shows a different scrolling behaviour depending on the value of GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS.

The newest libreoffice-fresh package seems to have corrected this for me. However, I can agree with you about scrolling being slower. I still run it with GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1.

Just noting the issue is not fixed for 5.1.1.3 on Arch/i3. As for the workaround, is there a way to put the setting into libreoffice so that if I open a .odt it will load with that variable set?

Check the wiki: Environment variables
Depending on how you start i3 and libreoffice, you can set the variable in your i3 config, .xinitrc and the config of your shell.
