Mouse Wheel Crazies!

[Rusty]

What is this... ?

On more than one machine, and more than one occasion, when I use the mouse wheel to frame-advance on the Timeline the Timeline plays beginning at super-slow and speeding (or slowing) with each mouse wheel advance. As if I were using Ctrl+J/K/L!

This is something that I can't duplicate, but seems to happen at random, and no... I haven't changed the keyboard shortcuts.

Confused and annoyed, Rusty

Hi Rusty
Yes I have seen exactly this behaviour too (starting from before v4.5). As you say it occurs randomly, although I have a suspicion that it may be related to the complexity of the timeline.

Just for fun-zies... the behavior has now stopped!

Somewhat less confused and annoyed, Rusty

That is a feature, when you press down on the wheel, and then scroll, it will go into j k l mode, so you guys must have accidently push down on the wheel before you scroll.

I now see the mode you mention, but my mouse requires serious pressure for a wheel-click. I'd have noticed that.

No, when I have seen it it was definitely not due to over-pressure - I can feel the difference. In fact I have seen similar funnies on occasions with my ShuttlePro, with the cursor continuing to travel long after I have stopped winding the wheel. It does not happen often enough for me to get upset about it though.

This could be related to the scroll settings of your mouse => an example: check the settings for "accelerated scrolling".
