alt+scroll wheel messes with hotkeys (ie: using alt+scroll wheel to zoom in, then pressing V brings up the View menu rather than bringing up the selection tool, as it should)

“Whenever I use the alt key with scroll to zoom, the top menu becomes underlined. That's a built in windows fetaure from the days before mice. The difficulty is, if I then press V for Selection, it instead opens the View menu. I have to be careful to hit escape after zooming this way, which is inconvenient.”

I have seen a few posts about this, this one from two years ago:

This one from 2021:

This is something I imagine many many users run into, I did not even understand why this problem was happening (only happening after I used alt+scroll to zoom) until today, but this issue has come up and been very frustrating for many months. Seems like something that is very worth fixing.
