I'm very tai-chi on that subject - but there's not much i Kendo about it.

Open two copies of Excel, with different sheets (I do this on separate monitors).
Give Excel 1 the focus, and then position the mouse over Excel 2 - do not click.
Twiddle the mouse wheel to scroll the sheet on Excel 2.
Notice that the sheet on Excel 1 scrolls instead ... D'Oh! | :doh:

Excel is really strange.

I noticed just the other day that if I have an Excel spreadsheet open in the background with cells selected with CTRL+C, I can't copy and paste from any other program. The text is simply not copied to the clipboard... Unsure | :~

It is indeed strange, but ... it's also a very, very good spreadsheet, and a whole load better than any other. Nothing else even comes close. Unlike Word, which could be beaten by a pencil and paper most of the time. Laugh | :laugh:

Indeed so - Excel is the real flagship in Office and always has been.

I do quite like Quattro Pro though, which is a much extended Lotus 123 and more compatible with that than Excel.

Think about it! How much effort they put in it? After all - naturally Windows sends scroll events by the mouse position and not by the focused application... Trapping it upon focus request additional programming of very high quality Laugh | :laugh:

This is how it's always been. Browsers now do it and I imagine some other programs do it too. Request it as a feature from Microsoft.

Try it with Chrome: two windows, one with CP on it. The other with Dilbert[^].
Click on CP to give it the focus.
Move the mouse over Dilbert, but do not click.
Move the mouse wheel.

Which one scrolls, CP or Dilbert?

Dilbert does, as you would expect.
Move the mouse over CP, and again, don't click.
Move the mouse wheel.

Which one scrolls, CP or Dilbert?

CP does, as you would expect.

Excel doesn't do that: it scrolls the focussed spreadsheet, not the one under the mouse pointer. Which is damn annoying!

Yes, but only the window under the mouse pointer, not the focussed window! Excel just does it to be annoying ... and only if the mouse is over any Excel spreadsheet, not Chrome, or Windows Explorer, or ...

Yes, that's what I said the first time. You seem to be misunderstanding what I said.

This feature is something linux does better than windows, you can set the setting to scroll active window. I am hoping windows catches up soon and makes it a windows thing instead of per app thing.
