PrusaSlicer 2.8.1 regression in ruler scroll wheel behaviour (1 mm vs. 1 layer)

In prior releases, using the mouse scroll wheel on the vertical ruler would adjust the layer preview by +/- 1 layer. Now in v2.8.1 it is adjusting the view by +/- 1 mm! I can only adjust by single layers by grabbing the handle any trying to drag the handle up/down by tiny increments. This is progressively more challenging the taller the object.

I cannot find any mention if this being intended new behaviour, and I cannot find any preferences to control it, so it seems like a regression to me.

I can see some advantage to being able to scroll through the entire layer preview quickly sometimes, so maybe this could be an option?

RE:

I always selected it with a mouse and then used arrow keys, layer by layer in vertical or gcode line per line in horizontal one.

See my GitHub and printables.com for some 3d stuff that you may like.

My scrollwheel still does one layer at a time with 2.8.1

I just checked mine too.  With version 2.8.1 on windows 10 the scroll wheel on my mouse also scrolls 1 layer at a time.  Interestingly enough IF I hold down control or shift and scroll it then moves 1mm at a time.

This happened here too, pretty annoying. but now it's working fine. don't know if the latest update fixed or it happens in some occasions only

 

double annoying is when i click and drag up, sometimes i pass the end and stop at the search bar, then the search popup appears ;D

Now it's back again, jumping sometimes a layer, sometimes o switch between programs, and go back being by a milimeter. super weird

will try to find a way to make repeatable.

got it! just open prusa slicer, add part, slice, if using scroll, goes 1 milimiter at time

PRESS ALT once, click and scroll again, now it's layer by layer

Doesn't do that for me at all.  For me if I start PS, load cube, slice and then use scroll wheel over the slider and its 1 layer at a time.  In fact pressing Alt once actually stops the slider from moving as Alt highlights the top menus and Underlines the first letters.  I have to press alt a second time to move the focus back to the platter so that the slider will scroll again.

This is with Win 10.  As I mentioned earlier to get 1mm movement I have to hold down cntrl or shift.  So what sort of keyboard or mouse do you have and on what OS ?  There have been all sorts of issues in the past with keyboard drivers causing problems.
