Hi everyone,
For a few years now, a recurring complaint for macOS users has been
swiping vertically on the trackpad on a macOS laptop is overly sensitive
in Calc. Unless you are really careful to swipe precisely vertical, the
slight horizontal movements in the macOS swipe events would cause Calc
to veer left or right by many columns with a big swipe.
So, I have made some changes to Calc to make horizontal swipes less
sensitive to horizontal swipe and mouse wheel movements. With the
following change, a native swipe events move roughly the same amount of
"visual distance":

What worries me is if this change will negatively affect swiping in Calc
on Windows and Linux.
My fix will be in tomorrow's (27 December 2023) nightly master build at
the following webpage:
https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html
Can anyone using Windows and/or Linux with trackpad test this fix out?
If it causes any unexpected behavior on those platforms, please let me
know and I can restrict my fix to only macOS.
Regards,
Patrick
