LibreOffice Calc Incompatibility

skbarksy

In LibreOffice Calc (LibreOffice_24.8.2), I can only scroll down in my spreadsheet when Bitdefender Antivirus shield is running. Anyone else had incompatibilities between Bitdefender and LibreOffice?

(incompatibility with other programs should be a category BTW)

Hello,

There are no official incompatibilities between Bitdefender and LibreOffice Calc. However, I don't exclude an antivirus interference with normal operation of office applications (e.g., blocking certain file operations or hooking into processes in ways that cause unexpected behavior). What you’re describing is not a commonly reported or recognized bug, so it’s likely specific to your setup.

See if scrolling behaves better with acceleration off (in LibreOffice → uncheck 'Use hardware acceleration' and 'Use OpenGL' (if present). It should be somewhere under 'Tools'. Based on my findings, this step is often recommended even when a security solution is not involved, but can help in cases where some form of advanced scanning or hooking influences how graphics are rendered.

You can also add an exception for the program by following these steps, and check if the behavior of the app improves afterwards:
