@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.

TOTALLY. THIS. ALL. THE. TIME. I don't want to disable mouse scrolling because I use finger scrolling to move around the canvas. I just want to stop messing up the numbers by accidental touch (daily occurrence), which impact my creative output. This is by far the most annoying and unsophisticated CC function that no illustrator user has asked for to begin with.

Given 6 years of no regard to this problem, I have a serious doubt if this uservoice feedback system is even working?

it's 2023 and Adobe didn't do anything about it. !??!

-- You can enable or disable mouse scroll with command Line (here in applescript):

do shell script "defaults write com.apple.AppleMultitouchMouse MouseVerticalScroll -int 1" -- enable
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.AppleMultitouchMouse MouseVerticalScroll -int 0" -- disable

-- and then ask the system to activate the new settings :
do shell script "/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SystemAdministration.framework/Resources/activateSettings -u"

-- the next step is to save as a script in the script menu or automate this with an applet in background (idle handler)

Agree, this is very frustrating, particularly if you have a magic mouse. An option to turn this off would be very beneficial.
