Yes this is an extremely annoying "feature". Whenever my pointer is
over any area of the desktop and I go near the vertical scroll area of
the trackpad I lose 3 minutes of my life. 2 to stop the impending seizure
caused by the flashing workspaces and 1 to find where I need to be again.
Then I can work for 2-5 minutes before it happens again. If there was a way
to change the behaviour only for trackpads, I think it would be great if it could
be set to work on the Left Scroll zone of the trackpad where it would not be
confused with a page scroll. Or I would find it useful also if it perhaps was
just a tap in the upper left corner to pop through the workspaces. This might
not be attractive for those that tend to use many workspaces but for like 4 it
would be fine. Just some suggestions.

I am new Ubuntu(& Studio) user. The MS Viral Magnet and Spy Generator
features forced me to look for something else. I am glad I did. Thank you!
