Scrolling will activate and increment drop downs and number fields without a click to focus said UI elements. Scrolling a menu will accidentally alter settings if the cursor happens to land on a drop down or number field.

In fact what is that happening is that when you scroll in the preferences panel, a “scrollable control” (combo box or numeric up/down) gets the focus and then the following scroll events are sent to this control.
It is the standard behavior in SALOME for combo box and numeric up/down controls to allow scrolling without giving explicit focus to the control.
I think that the reported behavior can be seen only in the preference because it is the only places where panels are big and need to be scrolled down.
