After scrolling with the mouse, please press C-h l to view the events
Emacs has received, and send us the last few events (including any that
occurred around the time that you scrolled the mouse wheel).

Some mouse drivers on Windows do not send mouse wheel events, and
instead try to figure out which scroll bar is linked to the current
window and fake mouse press events on that instead. If this is the case,
you might get better results using a generic mouse driver instead of the
one that came with your mouse.
