        frame.addMouseListener(this);
        popup.add(item1);

From Java Doc : isPopupTrigger()

Popup menus are triggered differently on different systems. Therefore, isPopupTrigger should be checked in both mousePressed and mouseReleased for proper cross-platform functionality.

Instead of mouseClicked() add below two methods:

public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
        if(e.isPopupTrigger())  
            popup.show(frame,e.getX(),e.getY());
    }

    public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
        if(e.isPopupTrigger())  
            popup.show(frame,e.getX(),e.getY());
    }
