Description

I often scroll through the score using alt+scrolling. When then releasing the alt button, the "file" button in the top left corner gets selected. When I then fail to notice it and press space bar to start playback, it fails to do so, actually opening the "file" dropdown menu. Since it's the same color as the tabs underneath, I often fail to notice it has been opened and press spacebar again, thinking it might have failed the first time. This opens a new instance of musescore.

It would be awesome if this sad chain of events could in some way be prevented, either by removing the alt+scroll feature (since shift+scroll also works) or by alt+scrolling not resulting in selecting the "file" button since the use of selecting it with alt has nothing to do with scrolling through the score anyway.
