You should instead do it as you'd do in the middle of a query-replace:
either type 'q' or RET to exit the replace loop and do something else,
then reinvoke the command; or type 'C-r' to enter recursive-edit,
where you can do whatever you want, including scrolling with mouse
wheel, then exit recursive-edit with C-M-c to continue fixing the
punctuation.

Once again, this command invokes query-replace-regexp, so the behavior
is that of query-replace-regexp, as documented in the manual.
