Scrolling down is fine. I was having the same problem. Thanks to Acus's post I was able to narrow down the cause by trial and error: It's the Compositing extension. Disable it and everything should work fine. That's unfortunate because compositing is pretty, but math is prettier so I guess it's a noble sacrifice :-/
