I, like davidpayne1981, have also used the bug report form with no luck on a number of occasions. This is one of them (the Alt+Scroll to Zoom bug specifically). There's a much less egregious bug that really doesn't harm much that's been around for years that I reported officially and on the forums. If you hold down the alt key and put your cursor over the timeline, right around where the colored lines are (red, yellow, green... the line that shows you how choppy playback is likely to be), you'll get a hand cursor, and you can actually click and drag the Work Area around... even when the Work Area bar is completely disabled. I get why a bug like this might not get patched out, because is it really worth the time to fix? Is anyone besides me (and the people I point it out to) going to notice, or care? Officially reported bugs like these ones not getting worked on don't make as much sense to me. Also, just ignore Jim_Simon in this thread. Whenever I've seen him come across a bug that has a workaround, or is a bug that doesn't affect him directly, he's very dismissive (even if he is technically correct). Kevin pointed out as an official that the best workaround is to not scale our screens... we already know that, and have known about that for 2.5 years. Some of us have laptops with 4K (or even 2K) screens. Whether we chose to buy them ourselves or were gifted them. Sometimes we may want to edit on the go. Most of us wouldn't want to lug around a monitor as it wouldn't be practical. There are situations where Jim/Kevin's workarounds aren't that helpful, because we're stuck with small, high resolution screens. Hopefully the developers will take this more seriously now than they did years ago, now that it is becoming much more prevalent every day as people upgrade to 4K monitors. Serious question for Kevin-Monahan though. Is it beneficial to submit multiple bug reports for the same bug? There's been a number of updates since I first reported the bug... how long should I wait before submitting the same bug report for lingering bugs? Once a new version gets pushed out, are bugs from older versions of Premiere just assumed to be fixed, and that's how they could get lost? Or would it be better to submit the bug report just once and hope it doesn't get lost in the shuffle? But what happens if/when some bug does get lost in the shuffle and years have passed?
