I didn't realize that windows does it too. i had to go check for myself after i read your post. maybe i'm just noticing it in linux because the linux DEs use these components alot more and they seem bigger, and i'm just not used to having to be that mindful of where my mouse cursor is when i'm scrolling.I think your problem might be how you move your mouse cursor.
If you move it to over sliders and UI components which respond to scroll wheel (all of them do and should do) then you don't scroll their parent window but rather invoke component scroll event.
This behavior is not specific to linux desktops, it works the same way in windows and every UI I had XP with.
When scrolling you need to pay attention not to move or stop mouse cursor over these components.
Still, it would be nice if there was an option to toggle it on/off for those who struggle with it. Thanks
