Then this bug is not an issue, right?

Unless we want to document that `JMenu.setComponentOrientation` _also sets_ the orientation to _`popupMenu`_, which doesn't change the orientation of menu items the `popupMenu` contains. However, it aligns with the specification: use `applyComponentOrientation` to change the orientation of the components contained within.
