Data pane: mouse wheel scrolling flickers/jumps when cursor is over field names
This appears to be a Power BI Desktop Data pane UI bug in version 2.159.883.0 (October 2026).
The fact that scrolling works when the cursor is beside the scrollbar, but flickers when hovering over field names, suggests a possible interaction between hover-state rendering and scroll handling. However, the exact cause has not been confirmed.
Next steps:
1. Check whether the issue persists in the latest available Power BI Desktop update.
2. Submit a bug report through the Microsoft Fabric Community under Power BI Desktop, including your reproduction steps and screenshot.
3. Keep using the right-margin scrolling or scrollbar dragging as a temporary workaround.

Hi DaniyalKhaleel1 I do not have issues in desktop, it is reproduced in service and embedded report in edit mode, even with old report that was published many months ago.
