I thought I would reply with my own fix. After changing my search terminology, I stumbled across a post from 2013 which had the same problem. The problem is that Wheel Emulation was disabled. For the simple fix, you can install (sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings) and re-enable the mouse wheel emulation. This solved my problem
