>>If we #define bug as "doesn't perform as specified", then it's not - but then the specs are obsolete. VFP's combo is what, 11-12 years old now? Mice had legs then, not wheels.

We can use the wheel pretty much everywhere else, but not in a combo (and probably not in a listbox - haven't tried). Also, if you try to scroll a grid with a wheel, you have to move your mouse off the currently active cell, which is very counterintuitive.

Nobody else bothered - including me, until today. This problem actually annoys me ever since I got a first wheely mouse. It's just that we've got this Pavlov's reflex to vent it out with a little curse, move on and forget it.

Besides, it's Sunday. Nobody else around here :).
