Yes, both the mouse and the trackpad's got this issue. when scrolling(specifically short scrolls) in one window, then jumping to another window, while scrolling, there is this erratic jump of line. this generates a flicker effect. Also occasionally, the scroll may inverse scrolling direction for a second.

The only settings for a mouse.
Activities -> Type: Mouse -> Click on Mouse and Touchpad ->
The only major setting is: Natural Scrolling. [moves contents not the view]
You might test this to see if this changes anything.

If you have a bug then you don't need a question as well. Keep the interactions about one issue in one place, not two
