I had problems with libinput's high-resolution/smooth scrolling feature introduced in v1.19 in certain applications, using a Logitech MX Master 3. Following this Reddit comment and from v1.23 onwards this Reddit comment, I did the following:

Create/modify /etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks and add the following:

[Logitech MX Master 3]
MatchVendor=0x46D
MatchProduct=0x4082
ModelInvertHorizontalScrolling=1
AttrEventCode=-REL_WHEEL_HI_RES;-REL_HWHEEL_HI_RES;

# MX Master 3 has a different PID on bluetooth
[Logitech MX Master 3]
MatchVendor=0x46D
MatchProduct=0xB023
ModelInvertHorizontalScrolling=1
AttrEventCode=-REL_WHEEL_HI_RES;-REL_HWHEEL_HI_RES;

[Logitech MX Master 3]
MatchVendor=0x46D
MatchProduct=0x4082
ModelInvertHorizontalScrolling=1
AttrEventCodeDisable=REL_WHEEL_HI_RES;REL_HWHEEL_HI_RES;

# MX Master 3 has a different PID on bluetooth
[Logitech MX Master 3]
MatchVendor=0x46D
MatchProduct=0xB023
ModelInvertHorizontalScrolling=1
AttrEventCodeDisable=REL_WHEEL_HI_RES;REL_HWHEEL_HI_RES;

Reboot.
