Win XP / FM 8

Hello,
Within FM 8 the scroll wheel behaviour is different than FM 7

E.g. when the cursor is within a field or object, I can not scroll to
another record using the scrolling wheel. First I have to click on an
empty space nearby a field within the layout, so a field is not
choosen. Only afterwards I can scroll to other records.
Then again when the other record is found and I want an edit of the
same field, I have to set the cursor within the field.

I don't like that behaviour at all !!!
In the old situation I could scroll, change or edit a field, and
immediately can scroll to the next record, to edit or change the same
field of that next or previous record.

Is there a work around or setting to get the "old" way of scrolling?

Silly, FM 7 in the old situation "officially" there was no wheel mouse
support but has a wonderfull working, and now FM 8 do have wheel mouse
support but with an annoying work around to have advantage of this
feature.

One man's failure is another man's win. While you preferred the old
behavior, there are many people who prefer the new behavior. If you are
in a field or a portal, it seems to me that it should scroll through
that field or portal. I understand your situation, but the new behavior
makes absolute sense to me.

Yes, I found a solution!
Installed a Mouse Wheel utility. By setting Control arrow up, and
Control arrow down under the wheel turning, it is working just like
scrolling through the records. You can switch it off too.
