If you press straight down on the mouse wheel and listen carefully you
should hear a click and then the icon (a double arrow pointing up and down
with a dot between them) appears.  I believe it's a mouse 'feature' so you
can scroll  up and down the page without holding down the left mouse button.
I often activate that feature accidently when using the mouse wheel.
I'm using Windows 7.

I have had that same "uncontrolled" mouse scrolling before.  Yes it 
seemed to be the mouse driver[s].

Never seen that "light blue" icon before, but I rarely use Windows and 
then it is mostly USB mice using default Windows internal drivers, not 
drivers from any media or downloads.

I would not want to keep scrolling when I stop moving my mouse.  I could 
not stand it when it happened that one time.

The only scrolling option in LO seems to be "smooth scrolling", which 
seems to be checked as default with my DEB 64 bit install of 4.2.2.1.
