Steps to reproduce

Use app that sends WinAPI function to the specific window. In my case - it is AutoHotkey language script.

command (DocsMicrosoft link) SendMessage, 0x20A, "WheelUp", (mY<<16)|mX,, ahk_id %WinID%

Do you have X-Mouse Button Control running? or something simular?

Also which exact items are not working

Do you have X-Mouse Button Control running? or something simular?

Hi! I've tried two tools - the first is written above AHK script, the second is an application MouseImp (https://www.mouseimp.com/download/ . It hooks scrolling on the right mouse button, so you can perform scrolling by press&hold RMB and moving mouse up/down).

As a result - I switched off the AHK script, and can give feedback only relying on MouseImp use.

Feedback:

• Standart Windows 10 option "Scroll content in windows under cursor" works
• MouseImp does not work in PowerToys 0.51.1 Settings window

Prerequisite:

• install MouseImp
• add to the file C:\Program Files\Mouse Imp (64 bit)\mimpwnds.xml lines

		<!-- PowerToys  -->
	<item wndclass="HwndWrapper[PowerToys" horscroll="false" lockedscrolldirection="true" lockedwheeldelta="true" />	

• restart MouseImp

wndclass="HwndWrapper[PowerToys" is the name of the class of the PowerToys 0.51.1 Settings window. The name should not match exactly. It matches by the first symbols

Is this still an issue?

Yes.

...I can shoot a screen video for understanding.

But, my issue is not with XMouseButtonControl app, my issue is with the application MouseImp (https://www.mouseimp.com/download/ . It hooks scrolling to the right mouse button, so you can perform scrolling by press&hold RMB and moving the mouse up/down).

Asking around again here. @gabbybilka fyi

Copy-paste comment from @nandoputrap:

Hi! The issue also come after updating Firefox 110. I found the solution here: https://techdows.com/2023/02/fix-mouse-wheel-scrolling-not-working-firefox.html

It works on me. I also can scroll on some apps like Power Toys and Files

Summary: Disable / Uncheck this setting on XMBC

Thank you for the suggestion, but my app doesn't have the setting :(

Moving my comment at https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/23212#issuecomment-1661109983 here.

My scroll wheel does nothing when PowerToys settings, Peek, or possibly other components too are foreground. Not even trying to scroll a background window (“Scroll inactive windows when hovering over them” has always been on, so #20961 would not apply).

My trackpad is not affected. The difference is that the mouse has a driver which I use to rebind buttons, hence it’s similar to this issue.

This also affects Task Manager and RegEdit, hinting that it’s an issue in the underneath UI library. In contrast, Windows Explorer, Settings and Terminal are not affected.
