I am glad that I am not the only one anoyed by this behavour ... Alt+
Scroll (for instance) would be a great solution.

Spot removal really works well but I find that changing the spot size

Bad idea imho. I zoom a lot while doing spot removal.
Better would be to address the issue rather than the symptom.
The actual issue is that the same global modifier (mouse wheel) is
used to mean different things depending where the mouse cursor is
located. This is a usability no-no. 'Focus follows mouse' is an option
(and turned *off*) for a reason in any modern window manager I know.
I.e. I suggest that a modifier needs to be pressed when changing spot
size. Same is true for equalizer etc. Th issue you describe hits me
there too.
That doesn't the current behavior shouldn't be kept for people who
prefer it, via a global option.
It would mean that when this 'focus follow mouse' is activated, you
get the current behavior (i.e. no modifier key needs to be pressed).
Otherwise, to change effective region in equalizer (insert other
modules that use the mouse wheel scroll to adjust their behavior) or
to change spot sizes, you must press the modifier and scroll. This way
just scrolling always means zoom, even when the mouse cursor is not
hovering over the view.
That would also improve usability in general. In many cases, I am
adjusting a module and quickly want to zoom in a bit (not necessarily
to one of the fixed zoom levels I can get via the Alt-1/2/3 combos).
But do so, currently, I always have to move the mouse over the viewer
before I can zoom. The I move back to the slider in the module adjust,
oh I want to zoom out, move mouse again ... etc. Very annoying.
