PM21406: saving while scrolling can add spurious characters to the current object

IBM Rational DOORS version 9.3.0.4

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Problem
  If you try to save with ctrl-s when you are scrolling with the
  mouse wheel, the current object may gety spurious characters
  added to the end of it. Characters include a square or a double
  exclamation mark.
  
  To Reproduce
  - create a lengthy module (say 1000 headings)
  - scroll to the last object
  - select the last object
  - using the mouse wheel scroll up a few times
  - while it's scrolling, hit ctrl-s
  
  There may be an hour glass momentarily and the object will turn
  to having a red change bar and you should get an unwanted
  character in it. It appears to be a timing issue and as such is
  not 100% reproducible but it will happen.

  saving while scrolling can add spurious characters to the
  current object
  

Problem conclusion

• As soon as you hold down the ctrl key, scrolling using mouse
  wheel will stop.
  No unwanted editing will be done to any object. The module
  will be saved.
   we disallow scrolling using the mouse wheel when the ctrl
  key is down.
