If your mouse cursor goes over the tab area of the browser then it will scroll them. This is normal behaviour

no

to be clear the mouse cursor never goes near the tab bar while this happes. mostly its in the center area of the page i'm browsing. i know the feature to change tabs while scrolling over the tab bar, but this ist NOT what im reporting here.

I suggest you report a bug. You can start the process with:

ubuntu-bug chromium-browser

But maybe others can advise

Can you help with this problem?
