    Thanks Scott! That did the trick - the mouse scroll wheel zooming is now back to X4 action and I'm loving it again! I swear they added this little "fix" in the upadate - I looked high and low for it...

    Yeah, the new features in X5 are cool, BUT, they completely broke how the mouse scroll wheel works for zooming.
