So I recently started using Ubuntu (16.04) over Windows on my Thinkpad Yoga 14. Everything is working perfectly and I'm loving it so far but, I've been using Chrome my whole life and now when I try to scroll with two fingers is jumping to the beginning of the page, basically I scroll to the middle of a web page, then wait a few seconds and try to scroll again and jumps to the very top of the page. I also noticed that this only happens in chrome. I enabled the smooth scrolling flag in chrome and nothing. Is there any way to fix this? Or should I use another browser? If so, which one is a good option? Thanks and sorry for my english.

1may caused by extension try in incognito mode see what happen and in system setting -> mouse & touchpad insure that natural scrolling is disabled– Mohamed SlamaJun 3, 2016 at 19:55

1I have the same issue, I have a T61 thinkpad. I notice it happens consistently when I am scrolling down a long page like then middle click to open a link in a new tab, then try to continue scrolling down, it will shoot to the top of the page.– Eric SeifertJun 8, 2016 at 12:45

1Another way to trigger this is clicking anywhere on the page, then attempting to scroll again. I'm also using a Thinkpad.– HemmJun 13, 2016 at 20:48

@MohamedSlama That doesn't fix it. It's a relatively recent problem too.– HemmJun 13, 2016 at 20:49

for a temporary solution, you may try 'Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroller' from the chrome web store. i got the same problem with the jumping websites and am the extentions provides settings to configure the speed etc.to scroll through sites. but it may not be the best solution.
