<AWT Dev> Why was JDK-8188085 closed? (non-English Java apps broken on High Sierra, menubar missing)

Sat Oct 7 11:03:45 UTC 2017

Hey guys,

please forgive me for posting here—I’m aware this might be the wrong place. However it has to do with the UI, so I guess there is no better place...

I've just noticed that https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8188085 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8188085> was closed yesterday (no idea by whom) without having been fixed. 

Just to be clear—this is not about cosmetics or some rarely encountered issue with an easy workaround. This is a *crippling* bug that breaks properly packaged Swing apps on High Sierra that do not use English as their UI language. I’m aware that this *may* not be a JDK bug, but an OS bug. 

But I’m wondering: Has this been moved somewhere else? What’s the resolution? Why was this bug closed?

Thanks,

-hendrik
