Please! Please! Please make this a priority!

If you put a numerical value in the X, Y, W, or H Value input field and slightly scroll on the mouse while in that field, the value changes. Sometimes, just a little, which may be imperceptible but still wrong. Sometimes, immensely, which is so annoying when your object increases/decreases in size tremendously or flies from its original XY position.

This is so frustrating and an enormous waste of time!

There has to be a way to turn this off in ALL Adobe applications.

All the posts below show how long this has been an issue, and how urgent it is to find a fix!

Thank you.

It's actually been 12 years!

The fact that this has been a known issue for more than SEVEN YEARS without a fix is both infuriating and, unfortunately, par for the course for Adobe and Creative Cloud apps.

Wait this has been in review since 2017? If I am scrolling up and down the properties panel for an item hover scrolling is a huge problem to just get to the place where the settings are I actually need. And it is scrolls through a million fonts, each one of those fonts is an individual "undo" so getting the text back where it was takes forever. Please fix this.

Please, Adobe, consider adding an option to disable scroll-wheel adjustments for text properties. It's frustrating to unintentionally change font sizes, spacing, or other values just by scrolling through the panel. This happens WAY too often. When selecting text, I accidentally scroll over the box that appears, and my font changes. This is just ridiculous!

Any news on this? I should be able to scroll my properties panel without changing random fonts in my document

It's been 7 years.

Very annoying problem. Everytime I scroll through the properties panel, it changes some settings like font size or type or anything else. Why can we still not turn this off in Aug 2024? Is it so complicated for Adobe to disable this hover scrolling that it takes years for them?

Please add a setting for this. My panel stack includes the Properties panel and depending on the object it can be long... So I scroll using my mouse... until I forget that I'm in indesign and suddenly I'm changing font type or size or whatever and I have to stop myself and carefully move the pointer OUTSIDE the value boxes and keep scrolling. It's silly.

Adobe please remove this pointless feature. It creates so many document errors and affects nearly all detail-oriented parameters within window panels. This promotes a sluggish user workflow as users have to navigate around any scrollable fields to avoid Russian roulette-style design changes.

InDesign panels are now battlefields.

Please, please, please eliminate hover scrolling, or at least allow us to turn it off in every Adobe app. I find it totally useless and a constant irritation. I am increasingly frustrated at the way Adobe handles updates. Creating features like hover scrolling, eliminating multiple windows in Bridge (since fixed, but who thought of that?), making proportional resizing the default in PS and others. Acrobat has become a fugly Windows app clone that barely resemble anything else in the Creative Suite. Do you consult with professional users of your apps before adding/deleting features?

6 Years later. "We are currently reviewing this feature request." Nice

drives me absolutely CRAZY. MY FRUSTRATION

We are currently reviewing this feature request. Since 2017. I will tell the tax office that as well.
I have to laugh already before loud sad.

There is no use in the feature. Have you ever seen someone scrolling through the language preference in the box or anything else? But I allways mess up my work while scrolling down!

and the worst thing is that i then have to go back 20 steps without knowing how many there really are. As a result, I often take steps back that were important. It is absolutely maddening.

This thing is absolutely terrible. After messing up a couple of documents it made me paranoid about scrolling in general, now I use the scroll bar. Like in 2003
Please add the option to turn it off!!!

I freakin just created an account here just to f**** vote and tell you that 5 years looking into a f**** bug should have it solved already !!
What's that, Adobe? Competiton coming with better software than is Adobe, multi-bilion dollar company, able to create.

This feature keeps messing up my whole document, I really hope they fix it ASAP! It should be easy to turn off, I would think. C'mon Adobe!!

Just got CC, accidentally screwed up some text blocks on a work document with hover scrolling like within the first 10 minutes of using InDesign. I hate it. Couldn't figure out what I had done. Scrolled so much trying to go to the next page that I couldnt undo everything... Cant find how to turn it off.
Glad its been "under review" since 2017, though!

I am very angry about that! This causes issues on a daily basis for me. You've known about it for so long and it's still not fixed?! UNACCEPTABLE.

PLEASE give us the option to disable this Adobe!! Scrolling to view more options in a list is such an engrained behavior that anytime my mouse happens to be over the text properties it completes messes up my projects and I have to undo something I didn't even intend to do in the first place. This is a problem I face daily and we should have a simple option to turn off the feature by now.

Hover scrolling is the worst. Like, I could get fired from my job if something gets changed via hover scroll and I don't catch it. Don't get me fired, Adobe!
