   Spreadsheet column and row highlighting coming in #LibreOffice 24.2, our next major release! (With new "year.month" version scheme.) Enable it in Tools > Options > LibreOffice Calc > View. Thanks to Sahil Gautam from our community for implementing this feature 😊 #foss #opensource

     @failedLyndonLaRouchite Hi! You can submit enhancement requests here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org – Of course, we're a volunteer-driven project with limited resources, so if you can help us, even better 😊

     can I make a request

     for some reason, and this could be 100% a me problem, I find calc ugly
     it just looks bad on my screen
     maybe this is cause I am used to excel; dunno

     also the whole GUI for scattergrams sucks; the options are the wrong one, the defaults are wont, etc etc
     there are all sorts of great programs (or were) like Kaleidagraph, you can use as models
     I understand that free advice (me) is worth what you pay for it, or possibly less

     @3mind There's an enhancement request but nobody has stepped up to work on it (yet). LibreOffice is a volunteer-driven, community open source project with very limited resources. It can only happen if people get involved and help the volunteers to implement it, or fund developers 😊

     I know that's not the most satisfying answer, but the LibreOffice community gets huge numbers of requests to implement things, and very few people actually volunteer to help out or fund developers...

     @libreoffice Nice, but when will smooth scrolling be finally implemented? Waiting for this for decades… Jumpy scrolling by rows is so distracting!

     @libreoffice @3mind

     Hi @libreoffice - maybe a bounty program could help raise funding for requested features?
     I know it's a bit harder to get this up, running and maintained (not to mention disputes when bounty is claimed but requesting user feels something is missing or wrong) but you might consider that option?

     @schroedingershund @3mind Yes, it is something we consider quite often! They can be very complex and time-consuming to run, as you mentioned, but maybe we can set up something manageable one day...
