MouseWheel event not being dispatched with the new 3.1 API?

[RoyceSimpson]

I've got an app that needs to do some stuff when a map mousewheel event is dispatched.  With the 3.0 API this worked fine but with the 3.1 API, the event isn't being dispatched.  The map does zoom in/out when mousewheel is used but the mousewheel event simply never gets triggered.

Can anyone verify this?  Is this now by design (cringe)?

Hey Royce,

Thanks for reporting this. It is a regression bug for version 3.1.

As a workaround, you can add the event listener with useCapture = true:

myMap.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, myMap_mouseWheelHandler, true);

Here's more information about the capturing phase:

Hope that helps.
