Please instrument this piece of xterm.c, around line 20724, as follows:

              xi_reset_scroll_valuators_for_device_id (dpyinfo, enter->deviceid,
                                                       true);
#endif
              printf ("Enter %d %d\n", enter->mode, enter->detail); <===

              {
#ifdef HAVE_XWIDGETS
                struct xwidget_view *xwidget_view = xwidget_view_from_window 
(enter->event);

and this piece of the same function, around line 20843, as follows:

              if (device)
                xi_report_motion_window_clear (device);
              printf ("Leave %d %d\n", leave->mode, leave_detail); <====

and see what is printed as you move the mouse wheel.

Should it print "Enter" and "Leave" repetitively, please try the
following patch:

diff --git a/src/xfns.c b/src/xfns.c
index 0b1f707e9f..bebac747fb 100644

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I can't see anything wrong with that patch at first glance;
however, it is a big change to very old code, so please report any
issues that show up with it applied.
