You are talking about the mouse wheel of a real mouse with touchpad-panning on 
or off? With touchpad-panning off I didn’t see any any difference in behaviour on 
OSX/Linux with all the tests I did.

I will check, of course… especially GerbView.

Strange, all of them work for me on OS X, both with legacy and GAL canvas.
I’ll retest on Linux.

I currently couldn’t imagine any reason why it shouldn’t work in Windows… 
The changes are just in the EDA_DRAW_PANEL classes.
Are they different on Windows?

In my tests with Linux and a normal mouse on OS X mouse wheel scrolling 
did work just the same as with disabled touchpad-panning.
The only thing of course is, that it scrolls (vertical I think) when using the 
scroll wheel without any modifier (when touchpad-panning is enabled).
