Mouse wheel working only on X>0 area

Hello, gentlemen,

It is indeed possible to zoom and unzoom using the mouse wheel.
And in the same time, the drawing is panned. Ok.

But this works fine on some of my PCs, while on some others it works only when the mouse points on the X>0 area.
I have then to use the zoom tool, which is much less convenient.

Is there any mean to correct that behaviour?

Thank you.

For the PCs that are exhibiting this behavior:

  1. What OS are you using (Windows, MacOS, Linux) and what version of OS do
    you use?

  2. What version of OpenSCAD are you using?

I've had this type of thing happen when I had a wild hair (literally, a
hair from my beard that got caught up in the optical mouse).  Check if the
mouse optical window, or if you are using an old school roller-ball, the
rollers get gummy).  Just a thought.
