losing focus scrolling when focus follows mouse

Hi,

I am using XFCE with xfwm. I have it set as focus follows mouse. If I
scroll by grabbing the scroll bar with the mouse and if the pointer
moves out of the window I am over the window below, the window below
gets the focus. This is not great. I have been using xfwm only for a
short time, previously I was using Openbox, and this does not happen
in Openbox, where basically the focus does *not* follow the mouse when
I scrolling.

Is there any xfwm setting to have a behaviour similar to Openbox? I
could nor find any. I did a Google search and a couple of people
recommended changing an accessibility setting but that did not work
for me. I am on Arch.
