Editor: scroll jumps randomly (related to Chrome, Electron, xinput)

- VSCode Version: starting at 1.13.0, up to current - OS Version: Fedora 24-27 Looks like VS Code is listening to mouse scroll events, even while it is not active in the window. Related: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=608246 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=807187 **Steps to Reproduce** requirements: Browser (Chromium / Firefox / Google Chrome), VSCode Editor (Any file type. Ideally a long file to ensure the scroll is visible.) VSCode: Leave cursor at top of file. Browser: Scroll, excessively, (For a few seconds) down the page. Even if it's a blank tab with no content. VSCode: Scroll, ever so slightly, in any direction. You'll find the editor will jump suddenly further down the active file. It seems VSCode is receiving the scroll events, for whatever reason; which are all suddenly evaluated upon any form of scroll input in the editor. **Updates based on comments** GUESS: Appears to be an issue with Electron and some input libraries? Is not isolated to VScode Fix: Does not yet exist. Linux Workarounds (Not to be confused with a fix) imwheel - not suitable for all users wayland - not suitable for all users Note: Ubuntu 19.04 (Desktop) appears to be using Wayland. I'm not sure we will see further updates in here, which is a bit disappointing from the developers, given the amount of comments from affected people. I would like to have some official guidance, even if it's pointing us to other resources.
