Mouse wheel scroll causes zoom in/out in Google Chrome
Dont know where from this problem comes. but we can have an alternative solution to that. Depending on the drivers for your mouse, you could set ctrl-scroll as a "shortcut" to actually do nothing - essentially capturing the combination and throwing it away. Some drivers will even let you specify this for only within a certain application, at which point you'd specify chrome.
OR
Another trick would be:
solution using AutoHotKey posted on google groups:
Using Logitech Performance Mouse MX...
Downloaded AutoHotKey software
In the AutoHotkey.ahk file, added these to do nothing for Cntrl+MouseWheelScrolling
^WheelDown::return
^WheelUp::return

Also if this doesn't work, please provide some more information about your hardware please..
UPDATE - The solution
It looks like the zooming issue is related to mouse scrolling freeware. I took a look at a tool I run called "WizMouse." The purpose of these tools is to allow scrolling windows without focusing on them. Settings can be changed in these to fix the problem.
Resolutions:
- KatMouse (per nsx82): Add class: Chrome_WidgetWin_1, and under the settings tick option: "Window has scrolling wheel support?" (try checked first)
- WizMouse (per JoPa Mi): Uncheck "Enable mouse wheel for applications without mouse wheel support"
I've been annoyed by this for a long time, but when I searched most recently, I found a Chrome Extension that disables this Ctrl-scroll zoom behavior called No MouseWheel Zoom.
It worked fairly well, but didn't do exactly what I wanted (I wanted scrolling to continue as usual, even if I had pressed Ctrl. The extension just stopped scrolling and zooming altogether when Ctrl was pressed). So, I decided to make my own extension, which I just published yesterday. It converts Ctrl-scroll back into normal scrolling, and it's called ZoomToScroll.
Check these two extensions out and see if either one of them does what you want.
