Hello, Mike! > I wonder amongst mc-users, what should the mousewheel do in the panels?

I'm not against scrolling by lines if somebody comes with an idea (better yet - working implementation) how to make it in an intuitive way. panel_scroll_pages only affect the behavior of mc when the scrolling is done by lines and the cursor reaches either boundary of the displayed part of the list. > 2.

There was only one person concerned enough to make a patch, yet the patch was wrong. Older versions, including 4.5.55, don't support mouse scrolling at all, and I don't remember any complaints. > Maybe nobody uses mousewheel?
