Middle clicking and scrolling up at the same time results in browser crash

Reported by will...@oslers.us, Jul 7 2017 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open any page in Chromium (appears to be independent of page, crash is reproducible on default home page) 
2. Press down the scroll wheel while scrolling up at around the same time
3. The browser crashes

It doesn't appear to be 100% consistent: sometimes it crashes first try, sometimes it takes 2-3 tries.

What is the expected behavior?
The browser should not crash

What went wrong?
I first noticed this intermittently when using middle click to open tabs and noticing occasional crashes. After more testing, I've narrowed it down to when I press in the middle mouse button and begin scrolling up very soon after (it's not a problem if I wait in between those two events).

I've attached the GDB backtrace (obtained from `chromium-browser -g`), and also some of the output of `xinput test-xi2 --root` to show exactly how I was using the mouse to trigger the crash.

Crashed report ID: No ("Crash reporting is not availible in Chromium")

How much crashed? Whole browser

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 59.0.3071.109  Channel: stable
OS Version: Ubuntu 16.04 (x64)
Flash Version: 

I don't believe this to be related to extensions, because I can also reproduce it with a fresh profile.

Sorry, looks like I missed a few steps from the Linux debugging page. I've attached the full debug log following the actual instructions.

Output of `dpkg -l | grep chromium -`:

Unable to reproduce the issue with latest Chrome stable i.e., 59.0.3071.115 on ubutnu 14.04.

I see you're running the chromium-browser that ships with Ubuntu.  Could you either
1. File a bug with Canonical.  (It's impossible for Google to get crash reports with Chromium)
2. Try with google-chrome-stable and if it still crashes, post the crash ID

I can confirm google-chrome-stable crashes as well, ID 53ce577e40000000

sunyunjia@ can you take a look at this? Could this be related to auto scrolling?
