Summary	0000377: Scroll wheel changing value fields
Description	I'm not sure this is actually a bug, but it's at least a user interface problem. Currently when a value field is selected and the user scrolls the mouse scroll wheel the value changes up and down. The problem is that after editing a value the field might still remain active, and the user (like me) will then (repeatedly) accidentally change the value when trying to scroll to zoom in/out in the 3D view. Please fix this by implementing a check that makes sure the value in the field is only changed if the user scrolls with the pointer over the field, or at least that it isn't changed if the user uses the scroll wheel with the pointer over the 3D view. Or simply remove the scroll-wheel value changing all together.
Additional Information	Mac OS X 10.6.7

Is this a general problem or does it happen only with a certain spin box? On Windows I have tested it with a spin box of the property editor. when I select an item with a spin box as edit element and move the mouse into the 3d view it does NOT change the value of the spin box (even that it still has the focus) but zooms in or out -- the desired behaviour. Furthermore the scrolling only changes the value if the mouse is directly on the spin box.

As Werner says this only happens if the mouse is exactly on the field so it is hard to trigger by accident. Anyway, this is not the task of FreeCAD to enable/disable it, I think, but rather the desktop settings... I propose to close this report, unless someone has more to say about it?

wmayer 2011-06-15 14:39 administrator ~0000905	If I got the OP right the problem is that the mouse is not over a spin box but on the 3d view and scrolling the mouse still changes the spin box. But that's definitely not a bug in FreeCAD and there is nothing we can do about this. So, it could be a problem with Qt on MacOSX or it's simply the standard behaviour of MacOSX. Can you test any other application on your system to confirm this?
