Comments
EVALUATION It is actually normal to get the mouseWheel event on the window in case the scrollBar is invisible. When JScrollPane can't scroll it doesn't consume the mouseWheel event and the Swing popup is closed on every other platform. Another serious problem is found - when the scrollBar is visible it is impossible to scroll it with the single turn of the wheel. It gets scrolled only if you rotate the wheel fast enough.

EVALUATION Reproducible, for some reason we get two MouseWheelEvents. The second one is targeted for the window and BasicPopupMenu.MouseGrabber.inInPopup() returns false and closes the popup.
