I get wheel movement all the time but since it is so small it is not an issue for me, I can easily compensate with a light touch. in the log you can see rel_wheel goes to 1 after my finger clicks forward. The erratic wheel only becomes an issue when middle clicking. I don't want to affect other users by adding a scrolling threshold, I only want to prevent wheel scrolling when it won't matter to anyone. >>Which means we'll likely need some extra heuristics like a threshold when we start scrolling. That again is hard to discover and likely to upset people. I don't want code of dubious value to filter based on wheel acceleration because I don't need it, and it would just annoy me. It won't upset them because nobody uses wheelscrolls while they hold middle click. saying it would upset them is like saying debouncing is unfaithful to the rustic character of intermittent switches.
