Please add the following settings
1. Ability to disable zoom on the program window or change mouse scroll wheel behavior. While scrubbing on the timeline with the mouse wheel it's prone to accidentally moving the cursor over the video and unintentionally zooming causing a frustrating experience.

2. Setting to disable the nodes on audio transitions in the sequence timeline. They make it more difficult to make edits in the timeline.

I'm adding my name to the list. I like the option to quickly zoom in on the program monitor to make small adjustments to text and other positionings. But the key word here is OPTION. I want the choice of WHEN to use it. In the meantime, to help with the problem I've added a keystroke which I can click with a mouse button to instantly fit-to-frame. It helps but it should be easier than this.

Hi.  The wandering zoom in / out on the program monitor has been an issue for a long time now - a workaround I have found to reduce some of it's annoyance is to create a keyboard shortcut for the 'zoom to fit' command in the program(or source) monitor.  I have set it to 'Shift+U' for the program monitor and 'Shift+Y' for the source monitor at least that speeds up the correction instantly when it zooms in accidentally in either monitor window.  Hope that helps. Saving me some time anyways 🙂

Yust enable LOCK FIT TO SCREEN. That's all. Or let me disable the zoom menu entirely.

Has this (Issue 1., toggle mouse wheel zom in/out in program monitor) ever been resolved? It's annoying (cursing removed). I kept wondering why this happens ALL THE TIME and found out here, that it didn't work like this. So YOU HAD THE SOLUTION BEFORE YOU MADE THE PROBLEM!

Yes ! That's the thing! It gets in the way of out workflow.

The issue is @Dani_V. is not that we particularly want to scrub the old way - it's that the zoom feature is so easily activated by mistake whenever your cursor passes over the preview box. It means you constantly have to stop and reset the sizing and really has big impact on workflow.

This is one of those frustrating things that is for some a huge help ... and for some, like thee and me, just a pain.

 

I totally agree, they need to make this optional. As the many who love it would be as ticked off if it was now removed. As we have been over the change.

 

User options are always nice.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Still no update on that and it's SUPER antiproductive. It's a small thing but affects everything1 Either on monitor screen or source screen, I often find myself stoppinh wtahever I'm doing to fix the zoom!
@jessenicoli I'm with you, man!

I don't think Adobe realised this is a function we all use. This needs to be fixed/put back to how it was, it's awful. Only being able to scroll on the timeline ruler is very very silly.

Still an unresolved issue in beta 25.4.0(9)!

 

I want to highlight the urgent need for an option to choose between zooming or navigating through the clip in Source Monitor when using a trackpad. It's basically impossible to work properly without it.
