That isn't unexpected at all. By default, XMBC forwards wheel messages to the window beneath the cursor, which I'm not shocked about.
I don't have Prepar3d (I only have X-Plane 11 and MS FS 2020 Alpha 4 - which I'm not authorized to discuss :lol:). I'll stop by, but it'll be different this time.

However, you should be able to "fix" this by creating a profile for Prepare3D (the executable) and turning on the option "Disable scroll window under pointer" in that profile.

The mouse cursor should show up as a sphere in VR as long as your mouse is over the main app window. The left eye view is used for mouse picking from the main application window and the location of the pick result in 3d space is used for placing the sphere in VR so that it can show up with proper stereo.
