The mouse wheel doesn't scroll the STM32CubeMX Categories window in most places

In STM32CubeMX v6.17.0, in the left side of the Pinout & Configuration panel, if the mouse cursor is within a table that lists peripherals, the scroll wheel doesn't do anything. I expect it to scroll the window. You need to move it outside of the table but still within the bounds of the "Categories" tab in order to scroll up and down. This is super annoying because it means you have to have the cursor on the far left or far right of this window otherwise a table will appear when scrolling and the mouse wheel will stop working.

In the screenshot, having the cursor anywhere in the red box will stop it from scrolling. I expect it to scroll the green scrollbar.

While we're at it, I question the usefulness of the tiny arrows which reverse the order from alphabetical to reverse alphabetical. Are there folks that prefer to look through a list of peripheral from Z to A instead of A to Z?

My guess is these are causing the bad behavior by hijacking the scroll wheel event and then doing nothing useful with it.

Yeah I’ve noticed that too, it’s pretty annoying once you start scrolling through long lists. Feels like the table is grabbing the scroll focus and not passing it to the main panel. I usually end up just dragging the scrollbar or moving the mouse off to the side like you said, but yeah definitely seems like a UI bug.
