... even when the input bar has focus. Right now I have to click in the output window, then scroll.
Mousewheel should always scroll output window

The only problem is, the input window can be multi lined, so thats why it can be scrolled.
The reason you have to click the output, is to put it in fous. I don't think there is an option to "Keep output window in focus" because that would disable typing in the input window.
Not sure if this can be solved, wait for Nick to reply.

It is possible to do, with some tricks. It basically just means that the input windows responses to scroll wheel actions need to be trapped, then passed back to the output window instead. Should be fairly simple to manage, though it means trapping the events, where usually they can be ignored in favor of the control dealing with them itself.
Added as suggestion #524. Zeno is right, at present the window with the focus scrolls.
Probably what is needed is the scrolling to affect the window the mouse is hovering over.

mmm, I like that... or maybe an option, "scrolling always scrolls output window", akin to the "input always goes to input window" option?
