Comment:

 Sounds like the (more general) app_server(?) bug I experience in Pe, in
 Tracker windows ..Etc. It's very easy to replicate e.g. in Pe: use the
 Alt-Tab combo to switch between a .cpp and .h window. Then use the wheel,
 ''without moving the mouse'', the scroll will affect the window that was
 ''previously'' on top (i.e. the .cpp window if you've switched to the .h
 window). Or you can switch workspaces with Alt-Fx, going from a Tracker
 window to another (or to an app): moving the wheel will then scroll the
 window in the ''previous'' workspace, until you move the cursor by at
 least a pixel.

 This won't occur so often with the mouse, because well.. it's hard to move
 the wheel without moving the mouse/cursor itself unless you try hard! But
 it occurs 100% when you use your laptop's touchpad (using the feature
 whereby you scroll by moving your finger on the very right edge of the
 touchpad) because in that case the mouse cursor has no reason to move.

 Anyway, if others can confirm this is indeed a more general problem,
 '''component''' will have to be changed away from `Installer` clearly.
