The `Options` menu is places by default in `Tools` in the menu bar. On macOS however the `Options` menu (called `Preference` on macOS) is placed in the macOS default application menu (`idealgraphvisualizer`) the options bar. Because the `Tools` menu was always empty on macOS it was removed in `JDK-8288750`. Unfortunately, this made the `Options` menu inaccessible on Linux. 


The problem is solved by putting the `Options` menu in a separate tab in the menu bar and keeping the `Tools` menu hidden:
