The Acronis versions before 2012 or so were great. After that they went downhill.

same frustration here. that shit should be handled by the OS. applications should not have mouse control. all the clicks , moves, gestures should be under control of the OS. one control panel to let you assign what operation to what button / move. so all applications works the same.
And it's different between os's. scrollwheel behavior on apple is opposite from windows :palm:

Paintshop pro after it was borged by Corel. Installer became crap , spyware , bloatware , now totally unusable. Same happened to Microfx Designer. Corel borged it and ran it into ground.

For ref you can put the address bar back at the top in the settings.

As for the scroll direction, you can also configure that. I have a Logitech MX master 3 which has a utility that allows it to use the opposite scroll direction to the system settings which is handy.

The most consistent OS I have seen though is macOS. It’s pretty good.
