Alt+Scroll deselects window interrupting intuitive timeline navigation

Question

Audition 22.6.0.66 on Windows: I enjoy using Alt+Scroll to zoom in and out of the timeline. When zoomed in the playhead moves quickly so zoom out while listening. When I hear a problem, I want to quickly zoom in so I can find it while it's still in view on the timeline. Unfortunately, after I use Alt+Scroll to zoom in, I find that the window has been deselected and instead of pausing, spacebar pulls up a windows menu (restore, move, size, minimize, etc.). I have to remember to pause, select the window, then select the point where I think I saw the problem. Then zoom in. By this point I don't have an intuitive notion of the point in the timeline that I'm looking for. Is this just something that I need to practice or is there a better way? Should I change the hotkey to not use Alt+Scroll?

Why are you using Alt+Scroll at all? If you place the CTI/Cursor on the time line at the place you want to zoom into and just use the scroll knob it will scroll in and out anyway. The closer you place the pointer close to the CTI, the more accurately it will zoom to where it is - what it's actually doing is zooming to the pointer spot. That way you get no Alt+Spacebar activity, which you can't alter anyway - you've jumped out of Audition doing this.
