My front dial also has this weird issue where it sometimes just starts scrolling without me touching it. That's why I have turned it off completely since my aperture would suddenly be 1.4 instead of the one I wanted. In menus it's annoying though since I can't turn it off there. Just a note.

I have had my M6ii for almost 2 years and have noticed a problem with the front dial, but only in a very specific situation.  For Image Playback mode, I have the front dial set to jump forward/back 10 images, and the back dial set to zoom in/out.  If, when using my thumb to scroll the back dial to zoom in/out, my index finger accidentally touches the front dial (without actually turning it), the image being displayed will start jumping forward (or backward) very rapidly until I remove my index finger.  This can happen with the slightest touch, and no actual pressure applied.  Depending on how quickly I remove my finger, it might jump forward/back 100 or 200 photos.  I haven't noticed this unintentional activation of the front dial in any other circumstance so far.
