Bug in action, 10 seconds animated gif

I have a Synaptics Touchpad, that supports circular scrolling. While this works fine in Windows, I found that the implementation of circular scrolling found in the Mouse settings doesn't work as expected. It is hard to explain with words, so I've attached a gif below that shows it in action. In the gif, I'm just drawing the same clockwise circle again and again, however you can see the scrolling changing direction regularly. Basically, the scrolling changes direction between the first (where the finger goes up-down) and second (down-up) halves of the circle, instead of always going in one direction (down - clockwise rotation or up - counter-clockwise) ; which makes the feature essentially useless.

Also, you may want to update the doc, it doesn't even include a mention of circular scrolling : https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/mouse
