There is a customizable variable, `mouse-wheel-follow-mouse', that
specifies whether the mouse wheel should scroll the window that the
mouse is over.  By default it is on, despite the behaviour being
slightly disconcerting.

When the mouse still scrolls the previous window is the mouse pointer
over the previous window?  If so, does customizing
`mouse-wheel-follow-mouse' help?
