When RDM connects to Linux over RDP mouse scrolls way too far for a single click

I often use RDM to connect From Windows to Linux machines over RDP to get to their desktop experience (as opposite to SSH). With all flavors of Linux I tried so far (Ubuntu, Centos) mouse scroll does not work properly on remote desktop, regardless of specific application. Scrolling mouse one click up or down causes active application to scroll way further than one screen which is very frustrating.
I don't have this problem when RDP to Windows.
Tried several Linux side tools which supposed to adjust the mouse sensitivity, but they don't seem to affect "virtual" mouse at all.

Any ideas?

May me there is better way to connect to Linux desktop than RDP?

Thank you!
