Smooth Scroll is a really old enhancement
bug 25483 -- Unpredictable vertical scroll jumps when drag and drop of selected
text exceeds top or bottom edge of document contents area
as an outgrowth of
bug 4914 -- "normal" view option needed
As near as I can figure out, setting the Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice Writer
'S~mooth Scroll' in the View panel adjusts the repaint rendering of the
document view when responding just to cursor key (U, D) movements. Such that if
there is a large gap of white space, or an inserted page break, rather than
'jumping' to the next block of text the text will smoothly scroll up (or down)
the screen. It seems to function correctly.
Believe Armin Le Grand did the last substantive work related to it in mid-2007
for bug 75172, in main/sw/source/core/view/viewsh.cxx
I've added him to the CC list. Maybe he can provide some insight and code
pointers for anyone with an urge to dig deeper to improve the associated help
content.

Spent a little more time with it and in addition to cursor (U, D) movement
'Smooth Scroll' will also modify the repaint sequence for <PageUp>, <PageDown>
movements to smooth the transition from screen to screen.

To me smooth scroll still seems cool, but the current state in AOO is more or
less useless, only causes problems, and the costs to improve that function so
that it is really useful might be unacceptable. Many special cases would have
to be considered ...
AOO should not have ambition to implement this if it's not part of the OS, we
really should think about dropping that feature.

It's just very old stuff from the times where smooth scrolling was cool and
new; if you ask me, this could be completely removed...
