- add-sub-mul-div 2y agoSome people (myself included) have repetitive stress pain when using the mouse wheel (and others are building towards developing that pain someday without knowing it.) Even if not interacting with it, the scroll bar is a visual aide telling the size of the page and the location within it.

If you were saying you _don't_ like that scroll focus follows the mouse instead of locking to the active window by default then sorry, misread your comment :).
