Originally reported in: niri-wm/niri#3364
Pressing the scroll wheel down button and holding it down to orbit (both in blender and godot), causes it to unexpectedly pause/teleport at random moments. This issue does not happen on hyprland and sway with the same mouse/CPU/ and power settings. The issue is reproducible in Niri and Cosmic.

Its a bit easy to miss, but you can see the mouse teleporting? and the orbit stopping.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7a4c738d-17e5-4a77-b839-cf5e28f0f8fa <- Godot, "Orbit" stops working right before the video ends.

After the pause, it starts working again a second later while the mouse wheel button is pressed.
Idk if this matters or not, but I am on a laptop that has a trackpad, however I am using an external mouse.

The issue is reproducible irrescpective of whether the app is opened with xwayland-satellite or with wayland.
Distro: Archlinux (6.18.7-zen1-1-zen, also happens with the default kernel.)
GPU: iGPU
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 255H
