You cannot hover over any box and use the mouse scroll any longer. This, I was hoping, was fixed in todays update, but no. It wastes a lot of time, having to click in the box to then use the scroll to change values. It was SO nice before, when you could just hover. It saved a LOT of time for designers who need to change values all the time. PLEASE FIX.

I don't know if the Developers or the Illustrator users are using a Magic Mouse, a traditional mouse, a vertical one or whatever type exists but ADOBE, YOU CANNOT DISABLE a feature that until now had A STANDARD BEHAVIOR in your app, WITHOUT THE OPTION TO ENABLE IT!
I was so used to it (change values in strokes, fonts and actually wherever was possible) because it is faster to hover scroll than opening the menu and pick an alternative and as a professional the fact that I now have to press the menu and make a choice, is making me slower and you Adobe know better... time is money.

So please Adobe, in the next version at least put an option to enable/disable hover scrolling values in menus as it was before. If you cared for your customers you would leave it as it was and you could add the option to disable it. I think this is the common sense.

Anyway, I hope in the next version we see the default option back.

MacOS 26.5
Adobe Illustrator Version: 30.4 (stable)

Before the last update, when scrolling on an unfocussed input field, like dimensions or stroke weight, it would increase or decrease the value. Now you have to click and focus on the input field, increase or decrease by scrolling, and then click outside the box or press enter to confirm. This slows down my workflow since I change stroke widths a lot and there's already very few ways to change stroke width (like a hotkey for example).

WONDERFUL to see that the option to control if a user wants (or doesn't want) this feature is being added to an upcoming build. Thank you Lalita!!

As many of you have asked, we are giving a preference as "Disable hover scroll" in general tab which is ON by default and can be switched off if you need scrolling on hover. This should be available in upcoming Beta builds.

Thanks,
Lalita

I thought it was a bug when hover scrolling suddenly stopped working. I definitely need this feature so I reverted back to version where it still works. Using a regular mouse I've never experienced any of the accidents that people report from touch pads or Magic mouse.

The mouse scroll does not work when hovering over things like sizing, fonts, etc since the latest update.

Win 11 - Latest AI update.

A feature we just had.. after the latest update seems we have lost it. When you go over a value window you could place curser over value and scroll and the value would go up or down and switch to 10 count when holding Shift. The idea is to get that feature back :)

HOORAY!! sooo grateful Illustrator has finally addressed this annoying feature!!

We need an option to turn this back on.

As a standard mouse user, hover scrolling is muscle memory by now, and having it disabled feels slow and jarring.

For now I've had to revert back to an older version to re-enable the feature.

I use straight mouse (not trackpad or magic) and I need this feature (scroll on hover by wheel). Add checkbox in prefs.

YAY!!!

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.
