See <https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/76952> posted
by me.

In short, rolling mouse-wheel when the mouse pointer is over some
specific UI element leads to an input event started by <nil>.

I don't know what's that, and Emacs behaves differently on different OSes.

It simply means mouse-wheel is undefined there.

It's a feature, not a bug.  Don't believe everyone who writes
something on SE.

How about documenting the "<nil>" description?
