Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

System: clean install of Ubuntu 9.04, x86_64. Desktop effects are
enabled.

What happens: There are several areas within evolution where a stray
mouse wheel rotation will change the current workspace. As this is a
window management function that normally works when the pointer is over
the desktop, one does not expect a simple mousewheel movement within an
application window to switch the workspace. The areas where this happens
seem to be the darker box with the current mail folder and message
count, the area between the Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Tasks/Memos, the
status bar (when it's empty), and the one pixel wide border around the
message list.

(This also happens with other applications, but Evolution has the
largest areas that exhibit this behaviour)

Expected action: none, or a scroll of the message list area or the
folder list area.

Temporary workaround: disable workspace switching by mousehweel.
