LOL !<br>
You are the first to mention that. Thanks! You must be really rolling your eyes, lol.<br>

Perhaps it wasn't when whoever it was started using it, and the old behavior was kept if you upgraded, to avoid unfamiliarity?

I do really miss being able to use both zoom and scroll from the mouse with different keystrokes as I was navigating in Eagle, but for all I know I just don't know the incantation to enable that in KiCad, and it hasn't been such a burden that I have to seek it out.....</div><div><br></div><div>Pete</div></div></div></div>
