That's qutebrowser reacting to keypress events, and your OS having a
repetition between key events. See this issue for context:
https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/4768

As a workaround, you could set your (system-wide) key repetition delay
to something shorter.

Seems related to this issue:
https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/2889

The (smooth) scrolling is handled by the underlying
QtWebEngine/Chromium, so currently there is no way around it. This might
change once/if we switch to using JavaScript for scrolling instead:
