<AWT Dev> [7uX] Review request for 8010721: In JDK7 the menu bar disappears when a Dialog is shown

[Anthony Petrov]

Hi Vladislav,

Usually we port fixes in the backward direction - fix an issue in the 
current development release (JDK 8) first, and then port it to an update 
for a previous release(s) if there's enough justification. This allows 
your fix to be baked in the beta release for some time, to ensure no 
regressions arise. Would that process work for this issue?

Also, at this time the JBS system is unavailable outside Oracle. Please 
provide links to bugs at bugs.sun.com when posting on public mailing lists.
