Bug Description
The bug has to do with mouse scrolling and switching windows; I do not know which package it is part of.
The problem arises when I have two windows of two different applications open, such as Google Chrome and a text editor. To reproduce the error, I have Google Chrome open initially, then I switch tabs (using the shortcut Alt-Tab) to the text editor, then scroll around on the text editor. When I Alt-Tab back to Google Chrome, my first scroll leads to the page jumping by a large amount either up or down before resuming regular mouse scrolling. It is only this initial scroll after switching tabs that jumps like this. It also happens regardless of whether I use a mouse or the touch pad.
I also notice, given the same scenario, if I scroll up on the text editor, the Google Chrome initial scroll jump will be upward. If I scroll down on the text editor, the Chrome jump will be downward. If I scroll a lot in the text editor, the Chrome jump will be large. If I scroll a small amount in the text editor, the Chrome jump will be small.

We can't track bugs in Chrome here because Chrome is not part of Ubuntu. However Chromium is so I will assume the same bug exists there.
