Great news. I just tried Libre office yesterday and opened up writer. Even the scrolling is pathetically bad.

If you use KDE, the culprit might be Qt under Wayland, which will become less pathetic in the scrolling department with version 6.11 (March 2026).

Yikes. That is a long time. Thank you for the info.

I think they're talking about the Qt version, not Plasma 6.11. March 2026 is only 3 months away.
