Title:
  High precision touchpad scrolling doesn't work in Wayland sessions
  (but does in Xorg)

Status in Chromium Browser:
  Unknown
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  High precision touchpad scrolling doesn't work in Wayland sessions
  (but does in Xorg).

  I guess it's probably Xwayland failing to support the more advanced
  XInput stuff?

  Note: This bug report is about high precision (and thus low latency)
  touchpad scrolling. It is not about "Smooth Scrolling" simply because
  "Smooth Scrolling" actually means something quite different in
  Chromium. :P

  Test case:

  1. In chrome://flags, set Smooth Scrolling to Disabled and restart the browser.
  2. Use your touchpad (usually two fingers) to scroll a web page.

  Observed:

  In an Ubuntu session (pure Xorg), the scrolling is noticeably high
  precision like a Macbook or Chromebook. In a Wayland session however,
  the scrolling stutters badly like it's still using old-style mouse
  wheel emulation.

  Note also: If you have "Smooth Scrolling" enabled then Chromium
  replaces the stutter with smoother scrolling but you can still tell
  it's broken in Wayland sessions because the latency is much higher.
  It's having to fake the smoothness by delaying and extrapolating from
  mouse wheel-style tick events.
