Same problem on Dell Inspiron 16 7620 2-in-1, Linux Mint 23.1 Cinnamon (x11 session).

LibreOffice Writer Versions tested:

Version 24.2.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: db4def46b0453cc22e2d0305797cf981b68ef5ac
Flatpak

Version: 7.3.7.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 30(Build:2)
(This is the version that Mint 23.1 includes by default.)

Both versions show CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: en-CA (en_CA.UTF-8); UI: en-GB

Cannot scroll vertically by swiping up or down on the touch screen with one or two fingers. Same problem in Normal or Web view. It works on the touch pad but that can be difficult to use, due to disabilities or when the laptop is inthe "easel" configuration (keyboard and touch pad on the bottom, facing the desk, screen upright, rotated 180 degrees compared to regular laptop configuration).

Also, cannot move the vertical scroll bar up or down by touch on screen, in Normal or Web view. Touching and holding the "handle" icon does not allow dragging it up or down. Tapping above or below the "handle" icon on the vertical scroll bar works but it's an imprecise way to move through the document - usually moves more than a few lines at time.

By comparison, OnlyOffice Document (word processor) and Firefox browser on the same platform also does not allow one or two finger swipes up/down on the touch screen to scroll, but at least the vertical slide bar on the touch screen works as expected.

The Mint text editor, xed 3.4.5, allows vertical scrolling with one-finger swipe on the touch screen.
