[Cuis-dev] [IMPROV] Mouse Wheel Events

[Nicola Mingotti]

Hi guys,

tell me what to do, I don't think it is wise to move straight to the 
latest VM
when in the main documentation we suggest to use a 2019 edition.
But, if you say it is better to move to current i will follow.

I can perform Jerald test, maybe not immediately, say tomorrow morning,
this evening i have a birthday party, off limits ;)

bye
Nicola
