#15269 new defect
shift + scroll wheel inoperative

Description
Mouse scroll wheel events do not get passed to the guest if Shift key is being held down. This only seems to happen when the host OS is OS X; same VM works as expected if hosted on a Linux host instead. Very inconvenient, as some applications use Shift-scroll to perform specific actions, e.g. horizontal scrolling of a window.
Misbehavior has been noted in multiple applications which use Shift-scroll to perform UI actions. Lack of mouse scroll events when Shift is held has also been verified via the xev tool.
Host is OS X 10.11.3 (El Capitan), guest is Debian 8 (Jessie) running KDE, with up-to-date patches and Guest Additions installed.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
It's a pitty that the platform that supports universally horizontal scrolling via Shift+Scrolling, doesn't support in its guests. This is a 3-year old ticket and I believe it should get looked at.
