Currently, when you use the mouse wheel you scroll the window where the keyboard
cursor is located independently of where the mouse is. This doesn't permit to
take full advantage of the mouse wheel and is not intuitive for the user (I know
that lots of other applications also suffer from this behaviour!).

The mouse wheel should act on the window where the mouse pointer is located.
This is already being done in Netbeans 4.1 and Microsoft Office Outlook 2003.

This would make it much more intuitive to the user (how many times have you used
the mouse wheel just to find out that you were scrolling the wrong window?) and
would avoid the necessity of changing input focus just to consult a long list on
another window while entering code in the editor window.
