Another Rawhide bug: middle button then trackpad scroll down causes page up

[Richard W.M. Jones]

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=788632

If you middle click on any scrolling window, then (even some time
later) use the track pad two-finger thing to scroll down, the window
will "jump up" as if PgUp has been pressed.  It's incredibly annoying
and makes things like browsing results lists in Google barely usable.

Originally I blamed this on Firefox, but it also happens in a terminal
window (XFCE Terminal).

What to assign this to?  X?  XFCE?  Something else?

Rich.

this is a bug in the smooth scrolling implementation in the X server.
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45611 is the upstream bug, I
don't have a fix for it yet though.
