I've come across a similar issue in mintty: on some machines, if the scrollbar is enabled, mousewheel events never reach the window's event loop. I never really got to the bottom of it, but I think it's to do with mouse drivers: some appear to send mousewheel events straight to a window's scrollbar if there is one, no matter where in the window the mouse is positioned. >> [Ctrl+AltGr+key stuff] > Thanks Andy for pointing to the part of mintty code handling this.

You can tell whether both Alt and AltGr are down by checking VK_LMENU and VK_RMENU. Andy
