Smooth scrolling on Windows using laptops with Precision Touchpad
Scrolling with two fingers on the touchpad feels "janky". The root cause lies within Electron/Chromium and the way they convert touchpad gestures to mousewheel events.

*** Confirmed workaround reported by @alexpaluzzi
During my testing, I discovered that the lag occurs if you start VS Code maximized. I thought maybe I was going crazy, but all I did was restore the window and then re-maximize it and all of the scroll jank was gone.
Unconfirmed workarounds:

Staring vscode with the flag "--disable-gpu" fixes the issue for me

If I run VSCode as an administrator, then scrolling does not work. If I run VSCode just as it is, scrolling does work.

I have another trick that does work as long as I keep focus on the VS code window:
- Tap with tree fingers, so Search/Cortana pannel shows up to the left of screen.
- Swipe with two fingers over the VS code window and notice that the document does scroll
