Mousewheel Zoom behavior

[ScanEditor]

Hi,
when I click on an image with the zoom tool, I zoom to the pixel I'm clicking on;
when I scroll the mousewheel while pointing to the same pixel, at a certain point the image "centers" itself, and I end up in another spot. This is annoying, especially when zooming towards the corners of a selection in order to adjust it precisely.

In PS there is a way to change to behavior of the zoom (Overscroll checkbox).
Is there a way to make the mousewheel behave like the zoom tool in GIMP?

Thanks in advance.

I can not quite get your problem with zoom.  ctrl-wheel zooms ok for me.

However if you want to set up the mouse wheel, it goes like this:

Edit -> Preferences -> Input Devices -> Input Controllers (1) brings up a dialogue with Main Mouse Wheel (2)
Click on Main Mouse Wheel (3) and you get a dialogue to set mouse wheel actions (4)

   

Click on Scroll Up (5) and you get a Select Action dialogue. Search for zoom (6) and set Zoom In (7)
Repeat (5) -> (7) for Scroll Down and Zoom Out.
OK everything to back out in to Gimp.
