Bug Description

This has started recently in Chromium 51, and appears to be intermittent. Sometimes when I scroll with the mouse, the browser headerbar moves. It shouldn't be doing this - this should only respond to scroll gestures from touch events.

This appears to no longer be happening, so I suspect this was a bug that got fixed upstream

Re-opening this - it definitely still happens. The trigger is to scroll over Flash content.

It seems that the events that bubble up from the plugin instance probably result in scroll gestures with the wrong input type (touchscreen, when they should be wheel), although that's speculation at this point.
