Mouse Wheel Tunes VFO Without Thesis "Focus"

Currently Using Thesis version 2.9.0.31. But mouse wheel issue persists through several versions.

This is unbelievably annoying. Whenever I spin the mouse wheel it changes the VFO frequency.
If I am using Microsoft Word, Adobe products, scroll any web browser, or even have the cursor on the Desktop.
To be clear, Thesis is not "in focus" and I am using the mouse wheel to control another application. Most commonly I am scrolling the window in another app. Simultaneously the Thetis ANAN VFO frequency moves. The only way to stop the VFO frequency change is to click on "VFO lock".
I have a ANAN 7000DLE Mark 3. Two different "mice" tried (both wireless).

Help Appreciated!

Thanks Torrey N9PY

Do you have any macro software running, or something like that?

It's not possible for a Windows app by itself to steal or retain focus like that. It's got to be something else that you've got on your system.

What brand/model mouse?

Thanks for getting me on the right track Scott!
I selected from a drawer full of mice.
Results:
Logitech M510 - the problem mouse
Logitech Anywhere MX - no problem
Logitech MX Master 3 - no problem (after tinkering with Logitech software)
Microsoft folding mouse with capacitive wheel - no problem
Lenovo and other brands of mice with cords - no problem

Good information. My problem fixed.

Thanks,

You've got a mouse problem :D

If any of those have the Logitech smooth scroll wheel then that's the one I'd use. I love that feature on my Logitech mouse, it provides a very knob-like experience for tuning.
