This was fixed by checking the system menu bar every time an item is inserted or removed and removing all menu items that are not owned by JavaFX. This check is done on every insert and remove as JavaFX does not have a clear method inside the MenuBarDelegate class that could be called every time the window gets the focus.

If You mean it why I didn't fix it there the answer is that when You have for example two screens and You switch from a Swing window that is in the first screen to a other unrelated window in another screen, the menu bar should stay in the first screen. If Swing would remove the menu items on focus loss, this menu would be gone as well.

If You mean it as a edge case and if my code would handle it correctly, it would, as it just removes all items not owned by JavaFX and so if there are no menus that fall in that category, it simply will do nothing.
