In case it wasn't clear, when I say "comment out", what I really mean is "copy this config file to ~/.fvwm/config if you haven't already, and then edit ~/.fvwm/config". Don't make changes to /usr/share/fvwm/*.

Very interesting. A whole entire feature that I never knew about because I'm using my legacy fvwm config file (which predates this feature and doesn't make use of it), and because my mouse doesn't have a scroll wheel in the first place. Looking at what I believe to be the default Debian fvwm config file (/usr/share/fvwm/default-config/config) I find this chunk: # TitleBar: Click to Raise, Move, Double Click to Maximize # Mouse Wheel Up/Down to WindowShade On/Off # Borders: Click to raise, Move to Resize # Root Window: Left Click - Main Menu #Right Click - WindowOps Menu #Middle Click - Window List Menu # Right click TitleBar/Borders for WindowOps Menu Mouse 1 TA RaiseMoveX Move Maximize Mouse 1 FS A RaiseMove Resize Mouse 4 TA WindowShade True Mouse 5 TA WindowShade False Mouse 1 RA Menu MenuFvwmRoot Mouse 2 RA WindowList Mouse 3 RA Menu MenuWindowOpsLong Mouse 1 IA RaiseMoveX Move "Iconify off" Mouse 3 TA Menu MenuWindowOps Mouse 3 IA Menu MenuIconOps So, if you comment out the "Mouse 4" and "Mouse 5" lines there (and restart fvwm), I bet that would disable the WindowShade binding to the scroll wheel. You could still activate or deactivate it through the menus, assuming you leave those in place.

I don't usually talk about things that I'm completely ignorant of (I don't use fvwm) but here we go ... I did a quick search for a fvwm manpage and found: https://manpages.debian.org/buster/fvwm/fvwm.1.en.html """ WindowShade [bool] Toggles the window shade feature for titled windows. Windows in the shaded state only display a title-bar. """ so I guess you need to unbind whatever changes that state from your mouse button and key bindings.

When I annoy myself by doing that, it's by accidentally using the mouse scroll wheel over the title bar. Scroll down over the title bar to reverse. It's called "roll window up" and "roll window down," by the way. -- Carl Fink nitpick...@nitpicking.com Read my blog at blog.nitpicking.com. Reviews! Observations!
