Mouse Wheel Function

The new update has sort of destroyed my workflow and I just wanted to let Adobe know how insanely inconvienant these updates are. The specific issue I need help with is with scrubbing through footage in the source monitor. Previously I would highlight the source monitor and use my mouse wheel to scrub through footage quickly. The mouse wheel even unlocks and scrolls at high speeds. I review tons of footage so this function is everything to me. Now, I can only do this when the mouse is hovering over the section right above the play button. Meaning, whereas I used to use the entire monitor to perform this function, now its an insanely small window. If I scroll anywhere else in that area it just resizes the footage. This is causing me to resize the footage most of the time when all I want is to scrub the footage. Then I have to go back and resize before continuing to scrub. Why would I want to resize the footage that often instead of scrubbing? The scroll speed seems to have been tuned down a lot as well. A change like this makes no sense and fills me with rage. I don't see anything in preference that would change this either. Also the new clip colors are awful.
