Hi Gabriel & everyone,

For what it's worth, I took a quick look at how JavaFX handles menu bars.
And it seems the problem is fixed for that UI paradigm:

https://gist.github.com/ctrueden/6b77cba1ffd29f945a60f4c8915ac16c

The problem _does_ occur with both AWT (used by ImageJ 1.x) and Swing (used
by ImageJ2's rewritten/experimental UI).

So if/when a new ImageJ UI develops using JavaFX [1], this problem will be
moot.

Regards,
Curtis
