Up scroll wheel = Up arrow

I just noticed this while I was scrolling through a select list with a program active where a sprite jumps on the up arrow key press.  Perhaps this is intentional, but it was certainly unexpected.  I briefly glanced through the reference guide but saw no mention of this.  If it's just an oversight, I'd recommend it not activating keypress controls.

Re: Up scroll wheel = Up arrow

Thanks for mentioning this. Just to be clear, were you scrolling with the arrow keys inside of a Scratch dialog (vs. some entirely different application)?

Re: Up scroll wheel = Up arrow

Yeah, that was inside a scratch dialog.  But I was using the mouse wheel to scroll through the list, not the arrow keys.  The problem is the mouse wheel when in Scratch also fires off the keypress routines for up and down arrow keys.  And I believe that was happening whether I was in a dialog or not.

Re: Up scroll wheel = Up arrow

Thanks. I think that's how mouse wheels work--by simulating the up/down arrow keys. But we could at least block them when you are in a dialog box.
