I just hit this same problem minutes ago.  Fortunately the fix is easy,
if a little heavy handed.

In directory:
  C:\Program Files\Tcl\tk8.0
find two files:
  listbox.tcl, and
  text.tcl
and comment out the lines having to do with binding <MouseWheel>.  In
both files those lines look like this:

  bind ... <MouseWheel> {
    %W yview ...
  }

Now ... Does anyone know enough tcl to do this correctly? (For example,
check for the validity of the <MouseWheel> event and do this binding
conditionally.)
