I found this is a general problem with 'Flickable' elements. And after speaking to Gerry about it last week confirmed the bug is in upstream Qt. Surprisingly the Flickable element only really works well with touch(screens).

It's possible QtMir is overreacting to the large number of events that touchpads generate compared to a mouse wheel, without taking into account the scroll magnitude of each one is smaller.
