Gary,
I will try it later today. Thanks!

Load Pinesoft-Widgets-gvc.284 from SqueakSource and enjoy! Was tricky to figure out but done nicely, I think. If the VMs get arround to generating mouse wheel events natively (rrather than simulating with a keystroke) it is a small matter to support that when/if that happens.
Will await feedback before updating the Universe.
Regards, Gary.

Gary,
It is not terribly high on my priority list, but the more I work with Squeak, the more I notice that the way other apps handle the wheel
makes
a LOT of sense. Given a choice, I would opt for solid keyboard focus every time.
Thanks!

I've looked at that, would be nice! Unfortunately, in Squeak, the
mouse
wheel is simulated as keyboard events. It would require some hacking
to
pick these up and send to the mouse focus instead. If there is sufficient interest I'll take a stab at it.
Thanks. Gary.

I hope this is not a repeat, or worse yet reflective of my not having installed a new enough release, but _almost_ as much as I think
keyboard
focus should be managed very carefully and independent of the mouse cursor location, I think the mouse wheel input should follow the mouse cursor, even so far as scrolling panes that are not active, and not
even
part of the active shell. First, I just noticed Ubuntu, its graphical terminal, and OpenOffice do this to good effect (as just one example); second, if I am typing, mouse movement is probably made to avoid
visual
distraction from the cursor, if I am turning the mouse wheel, it is almost certainly a deliberate action associated with the cursor location. Fair?
