Figured out what is happening.

I am a very fast typist (love my Unicomp keyboard).  When I
am typing and need to scroll up to see something, I take my
hand off the keyboard and grab the mouse and start rolling
the roller.  Then the Windows start to fly.

This is because of the force I grabbed them mouse with.  Mind
you I only moved it a fraction of an inch.  The issue it
the sudden acceleration applied to the mouse.  This pops
the mouse pointer all the way to the top of my screen, up
on my task bar (panel one).  Them I roll the roller on the
task bar and of course, the windows fly by.

And I can reproduced this by slapping the mouse hard and
start scrolling.  The tip off was that it seemed to lay in
wait for me when I most wanted to use it.  An anxiety detector
of sorts.

In the Windows world, there is a mouse setting for "acceleration".
I can't find anything in "Mouse and Touchpad".

So, to fix the issue, Xfce need a setting to adjust "mouse
acceleration".

In the mean time, anyone know of a workaround?

Many thanks,
