Description Jo 2015-08-04 13:24:08 UTC 
default installations of Gimp use the scroll wheel to move scroll bars, instead to zoom. 

Zooming (and pan) is much more important than moving scrollbars -Gimp is a fast, creative tool, not a text editor.

This was most recently closed as NOTABUG in bug 151929.
Comment 2 Michael Schumacher 2015-08-04 14:29:59 UTC 
And the bug for better wheel defaults overall is bug 737570.
Comment 3 Jo 2015-08-05 10:32:58 UTC 
some settings, like this one, look unexpected or not suitable, therefore i used the label "enhancements"

thats works for me too - i know its so easy to configure custom shortcut keys for which im very thankful - however im truly puzzled of the idea why you developers assign more value to un-intuitive and slow methods like scrollbars are.
