What do those apps do with keyboard input in the same case. That is, as
the focus for the wheel moves does the focus for up/down arrow also
move. If so, I think it simply means that mouse move events over the
control do an automatic setfocus. Can you verify if this is or is not
the case?

3. wheel events require keyboard focus. This is part of the problem

used
to shift focus between the controls and the wheel event is triggered

the control with keyboard focus. Note that char events such as
up/down
arrow go to the same grid as the wheel events. The gird code needs to
be
updated to do appropriate setfocus and this will be done for the next
beta.
I guess wheel events need not require keyboard focus. Take a look at
thunderbird
or firefox with 2 or more panes. When mouse is over a pane, mouse
wheel will
scroll that pane, and when mouse is off that pane, (no need to mouse
click to
select focus), it won't scroll that pane. This have the advantage of
being
intuitive and will not affect keyboard focus.
It may worth a look to see what convection is adopted by other
applications.
