+1 I second that, I find it quite convenient to have the control under the
mouse respond to mouse actions instead of the control that has keyboard
focus. It is quite frustrating to see a visual cue when your mouse hovers
over an area and then see another area respond to the scroll wheel.
I also know that explorer is one of the annoying applications that require
you to click on the tree view (or the file list) before mouse wheel scroll
events are processed, but IMHO that does not have to limit the way TSVN
dialogs handle mouse wheel events.
