Bug Report: 6.43. Change theme, scroll zoom stops working.

Post by Tristan »

I have the same problem with 6.42. The scroll wheel on my mouse becomes ineffective after doing a theme change. It works fine right after installing the program and all of the settings are on default.
I don't want to read the manual either, but, then, it isn't my problem, is it?

I'm not seeing that problem so far. What themes have you tried?

I just tried several at random; I can't remember which ones. I also changed the waveform and background color schemes, and merged some files. I guess the zoom problem could have been caused by any one of those things, or something else entirely.

This is a fairly recent problem, BTW. When I first started using the v. 6.xx series and did color scheme changes and file merging, everything worked fine afterwards.

Same thing here. I use "charcoal dark smoke" as the theme on two laptpos and my main PC. Main PC Win 10 pro. Both laptops Win 10. (one laptop is nearly 9 years old). I installed the last two updates on all three machines. Same thing on all three. It does not worry me too much because it's easy to use "shift" or "ctrl" together with the arrow keys.

More info. I had to reinstall Windows on one of my laptops and when I re-installed Goldwave, the mousewheel scroll function worked. I changed the theme to the one I prefer, and the scroll still worked. Next, went to "Windows options" and checked "Sound windows tabs", "Always confirm before saving", Update default effect preset after each use", "Hide selection handle boxes", "Show full filenames" and "Retain current view". Then checked "Simple left and right mouse button selection". Opened a file and guess what! the scroll stopped working.

Me again, after checking my three machines, I just discovered that the scroll lock stops working only when you select "Tabs" in the "Windows Options Menu". Hope this is helpful to you all. Cheers.

I have Tabs selected, but mouse wheel zooming works normally. I'll continue to investigate.
