Unwanted changes to parameters with the mouse wheel

Hi! When scrolling down in the inspector, I often accidentally change parameters with the mouse wheel. Is there a way to disable this for the mouse? The wheel should only scroll and zoom in/out.

What version of After Effects are you using? Are you on macOS or Windows? Do you mind sharing a screen recording of the issue?

Let us know.


Thanks,
Nishu

When scrolling, the parameters are accidentally changed with the mouse wheel because at that moment the cursor was positioned on the parameter area

If I'm understanding your question correctly Parameters shouldn't change unless they've been clicked on. Can you please tell us your work flow?
