This is a hot issue and is still not fixed.

The workaround with imwheel worked for me. So install it and in the terminal imwheel start. It is extremely annoying, hope it works for you.

If you are not too attached to GNOME, switching to Unity solves the scroll issue on the mouse & trackpad:

sudo apt install ubuntu-unity-desktop

To restore the natural scrolling and other trackpad features, also install synaptics drivers:

sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

Still an issue with VSCode 1.6.9.2 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS...

Workaround implemented as GNOME Shell Extension:
