Check where your mouse is when you do this. If the mouse is over the
Workplace switcher.. the workplace switcher will take the mouse scroll
as changing screens. I have had this happen serveral times when I
thought I was doing one thing and it actually switched screens. Once I
figured out it was where the mouse was located.. I am less "surprised"
