MacBook Pro running macOS Monterey scrolling bug

MBP M1 Pro, running Monterey 12.6

I'm seeing very noticeable scrolling jerkiness in Mail (message text pane) and Safari. When using two-finger vertical scrolling via the trackpad, the window will occasionally scroll very slightly to the left or right, even though there is no horizontally scrollable content. Then, the window jumps back to where it was when the misbehavior started, and resumes vertical scrolling. Normally, even diagonal movement on the trackpad translates into pure vertical scrolling in such a window.

I haven't noticed this misbehavior in apps like Acrobat - not to say it's definitely not there, but I notice it MUCH more in Safari and Mail's message text pane.
