Description
### Apache NetBeans version
Apache NetBeans 18
### What happened
chip: Apple M2 Max
OS: macOS Vertura 13.5.1
I cannot open the context menu by gently tapping two fingers on the touchpad, which is equivalent to not being able to open the menu by right-clicking.
I think it is the same issue reported by IDEA before:
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JBR-4765/Cannot-invoke-context-menu-by-two-fingers-tapping-on-MacBook-with-M2-chip
And there may be something to do with the MOUSE_PRESSED events.
The event codes are different between pressing and tapping.
Please help to chek.

Research direction
No source file or test is identified in the issue. Start by reproducing the two-finger tap on macOS with the reported NetBeans, JDK, and Apple M2 setup, then inspect the MOUSE_PRESSED event handling mentioned in the report. Done means the gesture opens the context menu like a right-click without breaking earlier supported behavior.
