In your ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml or rc.xml at:

 <mouse>
    ....
    <context name="Frame">
     .......

  1. set this:

    <!-- prevent that the browsers do zoom in/out when navigating with ctrl + scroll up/down -->
<mousebind button="C-Up" action="Click" >
        <action name="Focus"/>
</mousebind>
<mousebind button="C-Down" action="Click" >
        <action name="Focus"/>
</mousebind>

  2. Type openbox --reconfigure in terminal to check the changes, if the changes has broken it will validate.

It's all.

  • That will work but in the same login you will need to apply openbox --reconfigure. To apply the settings in the same login. Which is the same for any changes to the openbox config file. I think this is a good thing as if there is error with the xml it will not apply and end up with totally broken window management. – ianorlin Jul 06 '15 at 18:28

Use block-scroll-mod-x11. That will disable zooming only, if you press a modifier key after scrolling has started.
