Access to the Prerelease Forum is by invitation only, apparently. You mentioned that is the best place to bring up the turn-off-hoverscrolling issue, but it's not accessible. Can you imagine how frustrating it is for some of us professional users to be rebuffed in one way or another since 2017 on this issue? What percentage of your users actually rely on hover scrolling vs. those of us who see it wasting our time? Is it really that difficult to program the option of turning it off? This seems like a ridiculous thing to have to live with for eight years with no solution from a company as massive and capable as Adobe.

I can see how this feature could occasionally be useful, but it's been driving me nuts for years. I've seen so many threads and requests to be able to toggle it on and off., I'm not a programmer but how hard could it be to add that preference?

An accidental nudge that changed a text box position has finally snuck by me, and cost my company thousands of dollars to reprint a piece. If I've selected a field and typed in a precise number or scrolled through a list and elected an option why would i want that to change as I scroll away from the window? It's maddening.

+1, drives me nuts with a magic mouse.

Allow us to turn off hover scrolling in all CC apps. I would much prefer when I move my cursor away from a button or box in a menu that it be set and disabled. I don't want the activation of alignment buttons, font choice or anything else to remain active after my cursor moves away from it. Others started asking for the deactivation of hover scrolling since at least 2017, yet it's use has expanded. PLEASE allow the option to turn off hover scrolling. I don't want my mouse to be controlling tools or menus when the cursor is not positioned over them. If you've used an Apple Magic Mouse and have accidentally scrolled through a dozen WRONG font choices by the tiniest movement of your finger, you know the frustration. Let us TURN OFF hover scrolling.

@Stephen, it means the team decided the solution is not good enough to satisfy all the users (since some ARE using the hover scroll) and is working on a better way to deal with it.
@Alex, in fact this place is the 2nd best place to be heard. The 1st one being the Prerelease community you can apply to if you wish.

@Egor Chistyakov

Does this mean it's fixed, or not?

7.5 years later, it is now also in Photoshop and InDesign. lol.
Feels like these Feature Request forums are echo chambers with no real intention from Adobe to consider.

This issue having persisted so long has now added up into HOURS of correction time for me.

i just installed illustrator beta 29.6.107 and the hover-scroll behaviour is still happening. infuriating.

i'm on a macbook pro m3, macos 15.4.1

Please! Please! Please make this a priority!

This is so frustrating. 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. There has to be a way to turn this off in ALL Adobe applications. It's an enormous waste of time!

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

Thank you.

I waste more time changing numbers back after I set them. The work we do is very precise and sometimes this will happen without my noticing, then I have to go back, fix the size, redo placement and so on. One day a job may print on thousands of glasses and ship to the customer costing the company many thousands of dollars and possibly my job.

Please move this closer to the top of your To Do list so we don't have to wait years for it to be fixed.

Thank you.

How do I turn off number scrolling in Illustrator? Example: I open the properties palette, and type a number into the width window, now by scrolling I can increase or decrease that number. I want to turn that scrolling feature off. How do I do it?

I love the scroll feature on the mouse, I use it all the time. The problem is, when I’m resizing a logo using the transform panel, the slightest tap of the mouse will make it huge, tiny or skitter it off the page. Is there a way to limit the scroll feature so it doesn’t change the values in the panels? I waste so much time hitting undo or redoing my work it gets very frustrating.

Strange... Does it still behave like this for you? If yes — can you please record a short video showing this?

What the **** is this hover-scrolling Adobe? In an application like illustrator, seriously?

I often accidentally change my point size when trying to scroll past properties.

Please offer a setting to disable this scroll feature.

Seven years people have been hating hover scrolling. How about a fix, Adobe?

Yes, it must be disabled. Apple magic mouse is very sensitive. One finger touch changes the value rapidly.

This is a feature that irritates on a daily basis. You can input precise measurements for type size/leading or a stroke width, or dimensions of an object, then all is lost as you scroll away while accidentally having your cursor somewhere close to a measurement field. It's not a feature I've ever felt the need to use intentionally and it serves no purpose. Please at least allow the option to toggle on/off in Preferences.

This is a critical feature, a total nightmare, and I don't understand why nobody is addressing this! It seems that this is a problem happening with the Apple Magic Mouse only; I may switch to another mouse.
