aha! Now I realize why the mouse wheel handling behavior is so (put me
right if I am wrong) - it is just to be consistent with the number
field! In addition, not only the field and the preview handle a mouse
wheel, but *all* area except the tabbed pages on the right. So, users
will never be confused when they simultaneously turn a mouse wheel and
move a mouse through the number field. Mouse wheel will work
everywhere equally. May be it would be better if we would handle a
mouse wheel only if a cursor is over the preview?
