I guess the spec above is from the different method, which is not used in the test? But as of the spec for setDefaultLightWeightPopupEnabled()/getDefaultLightWeightPopupEnabled() we of course work according to the specification, but it does not mean that we should not implement/change the optional part. It is know that such lw-popups are used by some applications, an example is here:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7156657
It seems it is not possible to implement the same appearance it in Aqua?
