I've been noticing for the past few days that I have to click in the message before I can scroll it using the mouse wheel. I didn't pay a whole lot of attention and figured it was just me, but now I know the reason. The 9.2.1 release notes say "Message List and Folder Tree Tabs can be handled using the mouse wheel (scrolling, pressing and tilting)".
Does anyone like this? I don't. I very frequently use the scroll wheel on the message, occasionally on the message list, and never on the folder tree. I'd be happy if the scroll wheel applied to whichever panel the mouse was hovering over, but forcing me to click in the message is a pain -- a minor pain but an extremely frequent one. There's an extended consequence too -- once I click in the message, then to delete it using the Delete key, I have to click back into the message list. Previously I could scroll around in the message, then delete it, without clicking. So the change has added TWO clicks to my handling of many emails.
