I am having problems with the zoom in QGIS 1.8.0 where a slight move of the scroll wheel on the mouse zooms way way out. It will re-render at each zoom level and with large datasets it takes over the computer for sometimes up to a minute. Is there a way to disable the mouse wheel zoom in QGIS?

I hope somebody can answer this. It's even worse on laptops with scrolling trackpads. – L_Holcombe Oct 19 '12 at 19:34
In the preferences under 'Panning and Zooming' there is a dropdown labeled 'Mouse Wheel Action'
Set this to 'Nothing' and all will be well.

You might also want to look at the options on the identify function as changing them from the default 'selected' is more like Arcmap – Stevetech Nov 3 '12 at 10:25

2Also found that setting Mouse Wheel Action as 'Zoom to mouse cursor' and setting Zoom factor to 1.1 is a reasonable work-a-round. Then a light tap on the magic mouse if zooming in too fast will stop the zoom in its tracks. – Dion Mar 16 '14 at 8:12
