Yes, this is happening for me on any app that supports zooming using
scrolling and a key modifier, like Nautilus, Chrome & Firefox. I'm using
an XPS 13 (9343). Does anybody know the correct component (e.g. Gnome or
Synaptics?)  to raise this bug against?

Title:
  In Firefox, scrolling and then pressing Ctrl causes zoom

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When scrolling a heavy webpage in Firefox tend to lag on my computer
  so that the motion of the page continues after I have stopped giving
  scrolling commands. If I then, before the page has stopped, press Ctrl
  (to Ctrl-Tab switch between tabs, for example) Firefox starts to zoom
  the page (as when you scroll while holding Ctrl). This is unwanted
  behaviour every time for me. I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with Firefox 5
  (5.0+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.2). In Ubuntu 10.10, the
  behaviour was the expected, i.e., zooming or scrolling was determined
  based on if you held Ctrl pressed while rolled your scroll wheel, not
  whether Ctrl was pressed during the motion of the page.

  To reproduce:
  1. Open a webpage in Firefox, preferably a large and heavy one.
  2. Make sure your computer is slow enough that the scrolling motion of the page lags appreciably behind the scrolling commands of your mouse wheel.
  3. Stop rolling the wheel and while the page is still scrolling, press Ctrl. This causes Firefox to zoom the page.
