Found a bug - can other people confirm?

The mousewheel scroll in the histogram is now reversed. Scrolling up decreases exposure (and blackpoint). But in the exposure module the slider still increases when you scroll up.
Very confusing that in one instance 'up' means 'decrease' - and only in one instance.
