Poor scrolling experience Linux Mint 20.3

Hello everyone,
I am experiencing poor scrolling in Linux Mint Cinnamon since several versions.
In short, when I scroll, the page doesn't scroll in linear mode, but it feels really buggy. Sometimes it scrolls too fast. I link a video to show the effect.
With Ubuntu (same kernel version as Linux Mint), no problem.
Also tried to install a fresh Linux Mint VM from Parallels Desktop, but same effect.
Any suggestion?
Many thanks
Kernel Version: 5.4.0-113 (same with kernel 5.13.x)

Hello, We would suggest you upgrade the Parallels Desktop to the latest build 17.1.4, and then refer to this KB article to install Parallels Tools manual installation in Linux virtual machine and check.
 
Thanks for your reply.
Tried what suggested, I updated to latest Parallels Desktop's release and reinstalled Parallels Tools, but pretty nothing has changed. Still having a bogus and sticky scroll, especially on Firefox...
 
Luca, try this:
- shut down your VM
- open config.pvs (it's inside the VM bundle) in a text editor
- locate this fragment
<SmoothScrolling dyn_lists="">
<Enabled>1</Enabled>
</SmoothScrolling>​
- change 1 to 0 and save

Thanks for your suggestion, but actually it was already set to 0, I found that in another thread.
Maybe an incompatibility due to Cinnamon?
 
Thank you @serv for your reply.
Just tried to change SmoothScrolling from 0 to 1, but nothing has changed.
I post my Mac specs below if it could help:
MacBook Pro 15-inch 2018 with macOS Catalina 10.15.7
2,9 GHz Intel Core i9 6 core
32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
Radeon Pro 560X 4 GB

P.S.: the VM always uses the Radeon graphics card
