Windows, or frames?

No, that shouldn't be it.  Emacs tracks scroll valuators on a
display-local basis, but only gets motion events for the valuator when
the mouse pointer is inside a frame.  As a result, scroll valuators are
reset upon crossing events, as by the time an XI_Enter event arrives,
the stored value can no longer be trusted.

So please answer the question above.
