Turn Off Scroll Wheel Zooming

I have the same problem here, its really disturbing try to work in AE without make zoom for mistake. I cant understand why this problem still have any solution.

The same problem. Hope to solve it.

FIX!

Been putting up with this issue/bug for years now and I think I've just accidentally stumbled upon a workaround - If you go to the hamburger dropdown menu in the comp window then go to 'panel group settings' then check the option 'stacked panel group' then the window doesn't scroll from the mousewheel / magic mouse swipes! And you can now just use , and . to zoom in/out as you usually would. I'm not exactly familiar with the 'stacked panel' layout option so this may have some unintended behaviours in the comp window but it's definitely working as a fix for the annoying scrolling issue for me.

Not sure why this option would remove this function exactly? But anyway, hope this works for anyone else out there that's been dealing with this annoying issue for so long!

Throwing my hat in the annoyance ring. I deal with this annoying issue every single day. Can't believe this is an issue that hasn't been resolved.

Whatever mouse I use, one should be able to turn the zoom function off. It's been annoying me for years, with both a scrollwheel and a touch-mouse. I'd like to decide myself how I use my tools.

I can't believe that 6 years went by and nothing happened in this matter.

I'm using a trackpad on a macbook pro and I'm shocked that I have to drag to navigate inside of the comp viewer instead of scrolling horizontally and vertically and zooming with a pinch gesture. I assume many of the AE users are used to it, but at least give us the opportunity to decide how we want to navigate with different types of tool (mouse, trackpad, touchpad, pens, etc.) Shame on you Adobe for not listening and for sticking to this stupid, bad user experience.

You literally used to be able to turn this off... what garbage

Exactly, photoshop has this option! Though I'm feeling glad that I mostly work with photoshop, every time I have to open AE I'm prepared for a headache

I'm using a MacBook multitouch trackpad by the way.
Filed a feature request and felt like wasting time. I can't believe that this issue is around for meanwhile 5 years!

Fully agree with the complaints of my fellow sufferers. Hands down, this issue falls within adobe's remit!

PS: I believe designers (aka. the folks using adobe stuff) love usability and the freedom of choice

‌to those suggesting this is Apple's  responsibility, just how are Apple supposed to design a utility that allows me to prevent scrolling of the canvas in Photoshop but allow scrolling in layers, history and elsewhere

I cut out products from their background quite happily and quickly with the mouse but for this issue which causes me to adopt a strain inducing grip where I could otherwise allow my hand to lay on the mouse comfortably (yes, I've heard of Wacom thanks )

Adobe software simply needs this one checkbox - 'ignore scroll wheel on canvas'

I struggle to believe it still does not exist

Perhaps a concerted effort to tweet everyone on Phitoshop and AEs credit screens might wake them up

Neither Magic Prefs or other suggested steps are a solution to the problem. Please people, make sure you understand the problem before suggesting to switch of scrolling system wide or stuff like that.

Has anybody found a solution to that? I am still accidentally zooming in and out of my comp in AE. So annoying.
