Package: abiword
Version: 2.8.2-2.1
Severity: important

Abiword always has smooth scrolling enabled, no matter whether the abiword profile disables or enables it. In fact, the system preferences are ignored. This leaves abiword anoyingly slow on old machines, here on an
old powerpac running the PPC compilation of abiword.

This is due to a bug, or an oversight. The bug is in:

void FV_View::calculateNumHorizPages(), file fv_View.cpp, lines 14029 ff. Here, smooth scrolling
is unconditionally toggled:


    if (m_iNumHorizPages > 1)
    {
        XAP_App::getApp()->setEnableSmoothScrolling(false);
    }
    else
    {
        XAP_App::getApp()->setEnableSmoothScrolling(true);
    }

These lines should be removed, it should be left to the user to disable or enable smooth scrolling. Or
to only enable it if the user enables it, *and* this routine enables it.
