Ubuntu 18.04 scrolling jumps when alternating between windows

André Winston

In 18.04.3, If I'm in a scrollable window (e.g., terminal) and scroll down a lot, then alt+tab to another window (e.g., Chrome) and scroll in this other window, its scrollbar jumps to the bottom immediately.

This happens using a mouse or the touchpad.

How do I solve the jumping problem in the second window?

after running

sudo lshw -C display && sudo lspci | grep -i vga

I get

  *-display                 
       description: VGA compatible controller
       product: HD Graphics 620
       vendor: Intel Corporation

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 620 (rev 02)

Edit: I found out that the problem doesn't occur when the second application is the terminal, or firefox. In fact, I believe this problem is exclusive for Google Chrome.

Apparently this bug also happens, for example, on Visual Studio Code, probably there is something wrong with X11, and it is reported by some users here, here and here. It is mentioned by some users in the first link that an alternative to Xorg is Wayland. What solved my issue was to use Ubuntu with Wayland.
