Description Daniel Colascione 2014-10-20 11:29:19 UTC
Please stop changing the selected entry in a combo box or option menu on scroll wheel. This behavior is incredibly annoying: scrolling should be an idempotent operation. There's often no way to tell that I've accidentally changed a setting by scrolling around in a dialog box, and there's often no way to undo what I've done, since settings these days take effect immediately. Mouse wheel events should do nothing *but* scroll.

This might be mitigated by (or, depending on perspective, a duplicate of) https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760644 to stop/resist scrolling on children of scrolled windows.

I suspect no maintainer will want to change this established behaviour, but I don't know.
