I have an Win32 tray app installed (3RVX) that allows me to configure the Windows Key + Scroll Wheel (middle mouse button) to alter the system volume. This is a global hotkey combination. When I open a Windows Terminal and it has the focus, this global hotkey no longer works. When I switch to any other app, then it works again.

Environment

Win32NT 10.0.18363.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18363.0
Terminal Version: 0.9.433.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install 3RVX and config to use Windows + Scroll Wheel to change the system volume.
  2. Install Windows Terminal preview from Store
  3. Open Terminal and keep focused, then try Windows + Scroll Wheel hotkey to change system volume - this does not work. If you switch to any other app then the hotkey combination works.

Expected behavior

Should not interfere with another app's global hotkey configuration that uses the Windows+Scroll wheel.

Actual behavior

Prevents another app's Windows+Scroll hotkey from working
