bug#42406: Mouse-wheel scrolling can be flickering

Having taken a closer look, it seems to me now that what I called "flickering" 
is the following:

Mouse-wheel scroll downwards, so that the cursor becomes positioned at the top 
row of the frame. Then release the mouse-wheel, but so that inertia scrolling 
continues for a short time. After the scrolling comes to rest, which is 
probably determined by the window manager, there is an extra movement, governed 
probably by Emacs, to make sure that it is not the case that only, say, half of 
a row is visible at the top of the frame. It seems to me that it is this extra 
movement which leads to what I called "flickering."
