In the product editor, a common error is that someone unintentially moves the mouse over the Product and Application field and scroll via the mouse wheel. In most cases they want to scroll the editor and the change in the application and product is not desired.

If the mouse is above Product or Application it changes the selection. Mouse scroll should not be considered in these fields.

You can scroll through the combo just by hovering over it? On Win7 (with 4.10 RC1) the mouse wheel event is only intercepted when the combo has been focused first.

On Windows 10 hovering over the combo is sufficient to scroll it via the mouse wheel. Win7 behaviour sounds correct, maybe we have a SWT/Win10 bug here.

It's happening on Win 10 on all comboboxes I know, also in .NET Applications. I think it's more of a feature than a bug (in general, not in this exact case)

Thanks Moritz for the info. If that is an Win10 feature, we should not mess with it.
