This problem has gotten worse.
Netbeans is jumping on a right click of the scroll pad.
In the Projects pane, when you're typically highlighting a FXML document,
you need to right-click to select: Make Controller.
And the mouse pointer Jumps to the next line above the FXML document, and then produces the context menu for that file, not the FXML file.

This has gotten incredibly annoying with the new release of High Sierra.

Thanks,

This is definitely a TrackPad issue.

Connecting a mouse to my laptop, there is no issue selecting the proper file, and right-clicking and having the pointer stay on the file selected.

Your code seems to be very sensitive with trackpad input, and interprets a two-finger touch incorrectly.  Two finger touch of the trackpad represents a right-mouse-click.

This seems to be related to macOS High Sierra (10.13). This was not an issue until that upgrade for me. I've messed around with nightly builds of netbeans, all of the OS trackpad settings, macOS betas, etc. and I can't make it work correctly like the Netbeans 8.2 on macOS 10.12 and before.

I'm able to control-click to use the right click menus but 2 finger trackpad clicks are nearly impossible to use.
