When the option called InactiveScroll in config.ini is set to 1, scrolling in WPF apps is no longer possible.

My config.ini:

[General]
AutoFocus=1
Aero=1
InactiveScroll=1
AutoSnap=0
MDI=0
Language=en-US

[Input]
LMB=Move
MMB=Resize
RMB=Lower
MB4=Nothing
MB5=Nothing
Scroll=Nothing
LowerWithMMB=0
Hotkeys=A4 A5

[Blacklist]
ProcessBlacklist=
Blacklist=*|MultitaskingViewFrame,Volume Control|Windows.UI.Core.CoreWindow,*|TaskSwitcherWnd,*|TaskSwitcherOverlayWnd,|#32770
Snaplist=*|BaseWindow_RootWnd,*|SkinWnd,*|ChatSkinWnd,*|SpotifyMainWindow,*|USurface_33202

[Advanced]
HookWindows=1
AutoRemaximize=1
FocusOnTyping=0
SnapThreshold=20
MultipleInstances=0

[Performance]

This is a known issue, see https://github.com/stefansundin/altdrag/issues/3 and https://github.com/stefansundin/altdrag/issues/83. So if you are using Windows 8, I do not know what to do about it other than blacklist those windows, If you are using Windows 10, you should disable the "Scroll inactive window" option because it already natively implemented by Windows. Om my fork, I even disabled the option if running under Windows 10.

It would be cool if there is a warning when you activate it, on the systems that it affects. I've tried to debug the scrolling issue for quite a long time.

Stefan has not released a single build since 2015, at this time Windows 8 was new and Windows 10 was just coming out. Funny how things get old quickly in software. AltDrag was, I guess, developed on Windows XP for the most part. Maybe I will submit a pull request to the main AltDrag, so that the option gets grayed out on Windows 10 (like with AltSnap), but Stefan has no real time to apply those PRs and make a release, I already submitted fixes for a freezing bug on Win10, and a few other important bug-fixes but they have not been applied yet.
