Hello, I've encountered this bug, when scrolling with mouse in inactive
window makes hl-line and current line number go out of sync. Can be
reproduced with this minimal config:

emacs -q --eval "(progn
                   (hl-line-mode t)
                   (set-face-attribute 'line-number-current-line nil
:foreground \"#FF0000\")
                   (display-line-numbers-mode t)
                   (split-window-right)
                   (switch-to-buffer \"*Messages*\"))"

This will open two windows, one with *scratch* and other with *Messages*
buffer. Try pasting some long text into the *scratch* buffer, and
scrolling with mouse wheel. The current line number and hl-line
highlighting should be in sync.

Then focus window with *Messages* buffer, and try scrolling in *scratch*
buffer again with mouse wheel. You'll notice that after scrolling the view
beyond the point, current line number remains correct, while hl-line
highlighter
doesn't move:

It looks like, while Emacs always keeps the point in the view, hl-line
acts like editors that alow point to leave the view, but only when
buffer is not in focus.
