      As soon as Writer allows for a static standard scroll bar that doesn’t auto-hide, I will. Call me irrational, but I cannot use an application based around scrolling with no real scroll bar.

        You can use “pg up” and “pg dn” to scroll. That’s what I use and it also helps that my laptop has a touchscreen so I have no complaints about scrolling around my work in LibreOffice

          I’ll try those keys. But when you have a document with multiple chapters, the actual buttons on a scroll bar that is full width and static are pretty critical. Not everyone uses it for TPS reports.

          And why the hell does a desktop app need a mobile scroll anyway. Jesus Fuck, just give me the extra 5 pixels you psychopath.

            5 pixels are a lot smaller than you might imagine especially if you run a 4k display 😅

      I use OnlyOffice for PDFs since it can set a default zoom level. LibreOffice can’t, which it just stupid.

      I use LibreOffice for other stuff though.

        you can get a dedicated PDF viewer. I use my system PDF viewer and it works better than Adobe PDF I have been using for ages. This one actually makes reading PDFs bearable in the dark

        Sure about that? I can’t check now, but I think there’s an option in the advanced Export to… window.
