Yes, I'm bringing this up again in a last effort before walk away from MC completely.
Volume control attached to mouse scroll motion needs to be optional or not at all.
Moving the mouse/ cursor anywhere on the MC window that does not have a scroll and the scroll movement goes to volume control.
ie, moving cursor up to minimize the window, if your finger touches your mouse ANYWHERE, the volume shoots up. Moving the mouse/cursor in the tree side and theres not enough dropdowns open to utilize scroll, finger touches mouse, volume shoots up. Why the hell does scroll need to be attached top volume at all? Every app Ive ever used that connects the two is useless. Because if your setting for scroll speedo is fast, then the volume shoots up or down too low. But either way, any other app requires you cursor to be hovering over the volume. On MC there are many locations that seems to default to volume control.
It occurs to me at least 6-10 times a week, some times late at night, kids asleep, BAM. EVERYONE UP! Dinner party playing mellow tunes, everyone having a nice chill time, go to minimize the MC window, BAM, BUZZKILL!
As it should with any app that controls speaker volume, internal or external, it should be explicitly clear if and when the user is currently effecting the volume level. I do not know if the different skins effect this, but that should not matter either. a brush of ones finger should not be able to make such a major ands possibly costly jump in the volume. Volume control activated or not. It just seems like a no brainer. If my cursor isn't on the volume graphic, I shouldn't be effecting it.
Even when clicking on an item on a top located tool bar, the volume bumps up just a tad every time. Even without any scroll motion applied on the mouse, the volume goes up slightly.
I've used the app for a few years now. On multiple occasions, I've discontinued use due to this issue. But I like the features and sound quality over using the player built into my amps. But this simple thing makes the experience a complete study in frustration. No one should experience fear while using a media player app nor change ones hardware just to avoid the volume unexpectedly shooting up.
Thanks for listening,
