A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
horizontal scrolling in a JScrollPane does not work with a touchpad
with Metal and Nimbus Look & Feel when both scrollbars are visible.
It does work with Aqua.

The example in the code field demonstrates the problem:



Tested systematically with JDKs 6_51 and 8_11 but observed with all
production releases of 8 before as well.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Execute the example code, expand the tree a bit and resize the window so that both scrollbars are visible. Making a horizontal scroll gesture on the touchpad results in vertical scrolling.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Making a horizontal scroll gesture on the touchpad results in horizontal scrolling.
ACTUAL -
Making a horizontal scroll gesture on the touchpad results in vertical scrolling when both scrollbars are shown.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
