Please also tell which app are you using when you see the wave effect...

I get this wave effect on everything that I am in, email, this page, search pages, web pages. anything that I am scrolling up or down on.

Please tell/disable, if you have desktop effect enabled

Check / disable them from menu System→Preferences→Appearances Visual Effects : set the to None

That took care of it. Thank you very much.
