[#4776][BUG] 8.0 HF3 - Mouse wheel set for camera controls breaks menus

Post by user1679 »

Bug

In camera controls, when you set zoom to use mousewheel up/down you lose the ability to scroll menus, the mouse action is passed to the ship in the background even though it says "game paused".

Detail

For a long time I have had my camera set to zoom in with mousewheel up and out with mousewheel down. This worked fine ingame and also allowed me to scroll in menus. After the recent update, when you have a menu open, such as the settings / controls menu, and attempt to scroll, it continues to zoom your ship in / out in the background and the menu input is lost. A secondary issue is if you scroll down too much, your ship will zoom so far out it disappears.

I know there is a setting in the controls / menu section for scrolling but this actually moves the selection rectangle one line at a time, it doesn't just scroll the page. The default scrolling when mousewheel is not assigned elsewhere is to scroll the page while leaving the selected item selected.

Summary

When a menu is open, the mousewheel should not be ignored and continue to zoom your ship
