Feature request: Clear mouse wheel buffer when leaving current window

[UselessGuru]

Mouse used is Logitech MX Master 3 with a free spining mouse wheel.

Scenario:
I fast scroll using the free spinning wheel in one window, e.g. Chrome.
Then I move the mouse pointer to another window, e.g. Word, without activating the Word window.
Because the mouse wheel is still spinning, text in Word get scrolled too. This is not what I want.

Request / Idea:
I'd like a feature where the scroll buffer gets cleared (or any current scroll events get discarded) as soon as I leave the original window (where I started scrolling) until I scroll again.

Any ideas?

My thoughts are that it wouldn't be easy, because as far a I know, you can clear the windows mouse buffer, the best that could be done, off this top of my head would simply be to ignore the messages after switching windows - possible but could lead to difficulties, like when do you stop ignoring them!

The free spinning wheel can be stopped by holding the wheel, so no scoll events are fired anymore. This could be used to re-allow events.

How about:
1. Detecting when window is left
2. Ignore all scrolling events that occur faster than every X ms (while wheel is spinning)
3. Start accepting scrolling events again when they occur less than every X ms (after wheel got stopped)

sorry, see previous reply...
You may have noticed, only on release since your last message - things move very slowly here these days - far too much going on away from my computer (well away from having spare time to develop my own hobbies)
