This is a bit cumbersome, but you can export the report, open it in a
spreadsheet, and "freeze" the left column with the labels and scroll
easily. You can export it using the Export Report (on toolbar or File
menu).

(Normally you can also open a report, select all, copy and paste it into a
spreadsheet, but when I did that just now in Libreoffice 7.1.4.2 I had a
bit of a problem with formatting. Opening the exported .html version worked
fine.)

The design is a bit klunky -- the options appear if you tick the checkbox
"Report for range of budget periods." The other controls activate when you
choose Manual Period Selection.
