Scrolling with mouse fails in some plugins.
Apparently "This is a regression in xfce4-settings and unrelated to xfce4-notifyd - it affects all other plugged Gtk3 dialogs as well as far as I can tell." https:/

Yes, it affects any scrolled window of plugged gtk3 dialogs.
The workaround I found is to click (left or right) and hold on any part of the scrolled window then mouse wheel works.
After the mouse button is released, it'll briefly work. I suspect it's not an issue about events passage, but related to focus.

Scrolling works if you click on the mouse wheel and keep scrolling it
