I have found a workaround that seems to solve the issue in Xenial 16.04.

In short, run in a terminal:
$ synclient

It will output a list of key-value pairs, search the key: 'VertScrollDelta' and check its value.
If its e.g. 56, set then it to -56 with the following command:

$ synclient VertScrollDelta=-56

If you want to do the same with the horizontal scroll, search instead for the key: 'HorizScrollDelta' and invert it in the same way as you did before
