[libreoffice-users] Difficulty with Page Up, Page Down, and scrolling

Hi --
    I switched from OpenOffice to LibreOffice  when I read the claim that Libre 
code seems better and tighter than Open.
    I had some favorite pointer devices (called Felix (Latin for "cat") rather 
than mouse -- but these got worn out. Then someone gave me a used Logitech 
trackball, which I can also use without destroying my wrists.

    With LibreOffice 3.3.0 and the three-button trackball, the Writer program 
rather quickly became non-functional. If I clicked on the Page Up or Page Down, or 
with the trackball, the program would not jump to the new position. Instead, it 
would "scroll" one line a second, keeping the rest of the computer paralyzed, 
until it had moved by a whole page. Clicking in the "elevator" to go up or down on 
the page similarly scrolled in this impaired slow motion. I can't work -- write 
papers -- under such conditions.

    I have no idea how to go about fixing this problem. I can't write or edit 
papers with LibreOffice, with this problem -- which leaves me using Microsoft Word 
(which I would rather not do).

    My operating system: Windows XP Professional (or UberStudent distribution of 
Ubuntu Linux, which I have little skill in using, so far.)
I don't know just what other information someone better with computers than I 
might want.

    Please tell/show me how to fix this problem.
