Scroll-wheel TOGGLES to "zoom" on desktop and chrome

Question

Sometimes my mouse decides to toggle scroll-is-now-zoom mode. I then need to restart the machine. It's happened around 3-6 times in the last couple of months.

Affected areas:

• Desktop (zooming bulks and shrinks desktop icons)
• Chrome (0-to-100% zoom)
• NOT Firefox (it still scrolls normally)

Demonstration:

My environemnt:

• Chrome: 39.0.2171.95 (stable)
• Firefox: 34.0 (stable)
• Mouse: Razer E-3lue Blue 2.4GHz 2500 DPI LED Wireless Optical Gaming Game Mouse

Prior Research:

From reading several other SU posts, insights:

• One post mentions he/she uses both firefox and chrome (so do I) (see below)
• It always seems to involve Chrome (all posts below).

• Duplicate question but solution fails:

    • A: "Are all of you using a program called KatMouse or WizMouse?" - No
• Nearly duplicate but "intermittent" as opposed to "toggle" behaviour:
  • Mouse wheel scroll causes zoom in/out in Google Chrome

Out-of-SE:

Tried to post it in google forums, failed to post, got very frustrated and ended up on a half-day tangent posting a load of other complaints I had there.
