It's April of 2015, and this bug still exists. Just started happening
with my Logitech M705 mouse. This is making the OS virtually unusable
for me, as gently whispering at the mouse wheel appears to send it into
a scrolltastic frenzy, jumping tabs, pages, etc.

Very disappointing that this was reported nearly a decade ago and has
simply been punted around ever since. This is a huge UX issue.

Bug description:
  This has been driving me nuts for a while now. The scroll wheel on my
  desktop mouse (it's an MS wireless optical mouse model 1008) scrolls
  rather fast. Instead of moving a few lines, it scrolls half a page or
  more with a very gentle scroll. The bluetooth mouse I use with my
  laptop does not do this so it's probably somewhat hardware specific.
  However, I'm wondering if there is a way to modify the speed or
  sensitivity. I found an answer here from about a year ago
  (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/1339) that suggests
  there isn't a way but I'm wondering if anything has changed since
  then. I've also skimmed through synaptic but didn't see anything
  promising (like gsynaptic for touchpads).

  Thanks.
