[macos] Context Menus don't work in Swing on OS X

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0_131"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)


ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
macOS Sierra version 10.12.4

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
MacBook Pro Retina

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Starting with 1.8.0_121 context menus in NetBeans stopped working when using the right-click gestures on the touchpad. The main gesture is two-finger-tap + click. The contextmenu opens and immediately closes again. Here's a video illustrating the problem:

As you can see in the video, right after the click, there's a scroll event. Sometimes it's horizontal, sometimes vertical. I made the projects window smaller, so it's easier to see the scrolling.

I tried u_121 and u_131. Both versions have this issue, while u_112 works fine. I've verified that this problem also affects others, as I've been asked by a couple of users at a recent conference how to solve this problem. This issue actually made me look like an idiot during my presentation ;-).

I assume it's a general Swing problem related to this bug fix:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8166591

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u112

ADDITIONAL REGRESSION INFORMATION:
java version "1.8.0_112"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_112-b16)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.112-b16, mixed mode)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Install NetBeans 8.2 and run on OS X MacBook Prop Retina (don't know if it only affects retina). Go to Projects Menu and right-click one of the projects.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The context menu should open and stay open.
ACTUAL -
The context menu opens and shuts down immediately. Also if scrollbars are visible, the view scrolls a tiny bit.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Use a mouse (which is very uncomfortable for anyone used to work without a mouse)
