Actually, it bothers me that the mousewheel works when inside a combo, in other apps., esp. when filling out a form on the interweb. How many times have I visited a combo, selected my case, FORGOTTEN TO CLICK THE FORM OUSIDE THE COMBO, mousewheeled down the form (unsuccessfully, of course, cos it was still in the combo), then clicked on the next field, filled the rest of the form in, and submitted, only to find that I don't get the results I expect. Reason: while in the combo, by mousewheeling down, I accidentally changed my selection.

I've been bitten by this several times.
