+// Regression test for upstream chromiumembedded/java-cef#26 / this repo's
+// #14: mouse wheel direction was inverted in OSR mode.
+// native/CefBrowser_N.cpp's N_SendMouseWheelEvent used to pass the raw AWT
+// MouseWheelEvent.getWheelRotation() value straight through as CEF's deltaY
+// with no sign adjustment. AWT's convention (positive wheelRotation = wheel
+// rotated away from the user, the typical "scroll down" gesture) is the
+// opposite sign of what Chromium's CefMouseEvent deltaY convention expects
+// for the same gesture. Fixed by negating delta before assigning it to
+// deltaX/deltaY.
