Default Mouse Scroll event in listbox kills Excel

I've also this "bug" problem,
but only in Excel 2007 build 4518

I can not reproduce this behaviour in Excel 2003 build 8169 (the mouse
scroll simply does not work there, so it doesn't crash there)

Anyone else?

When creating a vba list box in excel, word, or powerpoint version 2000 or
2003 (with or without sp3) or Excel 2007, the application disappears with
creates a general exception error. Excel just dies. I'm not creating a
form,
just inserting a listbox on the document, sheet or presentation and then
scrolling in it with the mouse wheel. This doesn't happen with a combobox

Steps to reproduce.
1. View, toolbars, visual basic.
2. Create a list box on the sheet from the tool bar.
3. Get out of design view.

This has been around a long time, evidently, and I've posted it on a couple
of listservs, but hasn't been 'noticed', again evidently, until recently.

THIS IS A BUG. Or, has anyone found a workaround for this besides using
the scroll bar? It is a natural thing to do to scroll the wheel as well as
click the scroll bar, and the event should be caught, not create an exception
error and blow up!
