Why can't I scroll while selecting a text in LibreOffice

[Irishbandit]

Description: Ubuntu 16.10
Release: 16.10

Cant select text and scroll mouse wheel. Works in all other apllications just not Libreoffice.
To duplicate left click and try and scroll mouse.

Works as it should in lxde.. but not in gnome xfce or cinnamon.
After removing the PPA version and installing LibreOfficeDev_5.3.0.0.alpha1_Linux_x86-64_deb.tar.gz
its working as excpected.

Seems to be ubuntu ppa specific.. ??

Works
But switching to gtk2 works as expected.

This is on Cinnamon 3.2.6 so I just have to remember to install libreoffice-gtk2
instead of libreoffice-gtk3

Also do not work with libreoffice-gtk3 on
gnome 3.20.4
lxde
xfce

i dont use unity so I did not check that.
