Scrolling up and down with the mouse wheel is inconsistent. In some places it is way too fast, in others fine, and in others way too slow. It seems three display text lines per scroll click is about right. Examples I could find quickly: TOO FAST: DisplayHistory->Textual Options->Editor->Formatting->Preview TOO SLOW: Options->Editor->PHP->Wrapping Options->Editor->CodeCompletion 1) The inconsistency points to scroll action not being configured from a central setting 2) To cater for personal tastes, varying user hardware and drivers, maybe there could/should be a master option.

You are right, there are no guidelines for scrollpane wheel scrolling. The core utilities can suggest something. Till then you can report individual bugs.
