--- Comment #1 from ebroom2014 <eb...@my.fit.edu> ---
I was able to confirm. I am using version 4.1.2 on a Windows 10 PC.

Replication:
1) Open test document given in zip file in both AOO Writer and in Microsoft
Word 2016
2) Select "Smooth Scrolling" in AOO from Tools > Options > OpenOffice Writer >
View 
This step is optional. The smooth scrolling does not work and has been
confirmed to not work from these other bug reports:
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=94414 and
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124240
3) Try scrolling. I used a mouse and also a trackpad. The page scrolls less
smooth in AOO Writer than in Word and when you scroll, the document is fairly
unreadable. It took 4 mouse scrolls to traverse a single page in Word, up to
the page break, as opposed to the 2 mouse scrolls that it took to traverse the
same page in Writer.

So, yes, the scrolling is faster in Writer. There are many people who are not a
fan of this aspect of the program. The scrolling seems to be a bigger problem
for people in AOO Calc:

Smooth scrolling has been shown to be broken, and people have raised concerns
about this. People obviously do want a smooth scrolling feature. Also, there
have been irritations about AOO's scrolling speed based off of other bug
reports. While this is minor detail of the program, it does seem to go against
the user expectations of how a program like this should scroll.
