Mouse wheel event's angleDelta().y() always 0 with Alt key modifier

[Tobias Megies]

Oh, should've thought of that. Thanks a lot for the quick help.

And ah, looking at that second bug report you listed (sorry, I didn't 
find these looking for previous reports), I realize I also used to have 
"delta()" and just followed the recommendations to replace it with 
"angleDelta().y()".

Thanks!

Tobias
