FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_121"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_121-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.121-b13, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
OS X Sierra

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
With a two-finger "right click" on a laptop trackpad, there may be several spurious MouseWheelEvents with precise rotation of -0.0. This seems to happen more consistently after a two-finger scroll.

These events will cause popup menus to pop down, so it may become difficult to get a popup menu activated by right click to stay up using a two-finger trackpad click - it may just pop up and immediately pop down.

This does not happen on update 111. I'm unsure about 112.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u111

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile and run code. Perform a two-finger trackpad scroll. Perform two-finger trackpad clicks until the problem manifests.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Expect each two finger click to produce MousePressed, MouseReleased, and MouseClicked events only.
ACTUAL -
Typically, two or more MouseWheelEvents are produced, with precise rotation of -0.0.

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
Typical program output once the problem manifests:

pressed 4 at 1486152597537
wheel event 4 amount 1 precise -0.0 at 1486152597541
released 4 at 1486152597796
clicked 4 at 1486152597796
wheel event 0 amount 1 precise -0.0 at 1486152597888

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced often.

      label.addMouseWheelListener(
                new MouseWheelListener() {
                   public void mouseWheelMoved(MouseWheelEvent e) {
                      System.out.println("wheel event " + e.getModifiers()
                           + " amount " + e.getScrollAmount()
                           + " precise " + e.getPreciseWheelRotation()
                           + " at " + System.currentTimeMillis());
                   }
                });
   }
}

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Will try filtering MouseWheelEvents with precise rotation of -0.0 in an AWTEventListener, but I don't have access to the problem system (or a similar one), so would be concerned about side effects.
