> I don't agree. Java specification doesn't say that the popup menu shall overlap the OS taskbar. The test scenario shouldn't expect that. Permission to overlap taskbar is determined by the security settings and the platform default settings. By adding adjustPopupLocationToFit=false the test is abstracted from those settings which makes the overlap testing sensible. Otherwise the test may fail in some environments and platforms.
> As for the mac platform where the taskbar overlapping is disabled by default in the toolkit. It was intentionally disabled by fixing of a bug reported by NetBeans team. There is JDK-7124313 reported internally which requests the opposite, but it requires investigation at first, it is not clear that we can do this.

You just workaround the case for which the test was created, this is not a test bug, and it should not be fixed by the change in the test during test_sprint.
