Photoshop’s handling of the mouse wheel support is starting to piss me off. I’m trying to select a text layer and use the wheel to
scroll through my (rather extensive) font list. But at the same time, Photoshop insists on zooming in, and then when the image gets
to big for the screen, scrolling up and down over my image. I looked through all the preferences for a way to get it to ignore the
mouse wheel, but it doesn’t seem to be there. I just want to scroll through the font list without the image zooming and scrolling
all over the place. (It’s especially a pain when the text you’re changing is at the top or bottom of the image and gets scrolled
off the edge while you’re doing it, so you can’t even see it to know what the font looks like…)

No more than your inability to wrap lines pisses me off.

MS Intelipoint software has a feature to allow program-specific button settings so if you are on PC you could download this free and change your wheel settings.
