Inconsistent scroll wheel behaviour

Mostly the scroll wheel zooms to the mouse position, which is my preferred behavior.

However sometimes, for no obvious reason, it changes to vertical scroll. I can’t work out what causes the change or how to change it back. Sometimes it changes back seemingly of it’s own accord.

Along with grab areas not working on some footprints this is making getting work done pretty difficult.

Is it a bug or some feature I don’t understand?

I’m on MacOS, I haven’t checked if it also does it on linux, but I could.

I’ve also seen this on Linux, was not aware it also occurs on other systems. It’s clearly a bug but I couldn’t figure out yet where it comes from. But luckily the new UI which is currently in development should fix it (though it will still take several months to get it finished).

As a workaround I figured out a click on a toolbutton fixes the scroll issue.
