I am writing a multi-platform application where I popup JPopupMenus from a button in a frame's toolbar. In Windows, the popup is dismissed when I click on a menu item in the menu bar. However in OSX with the useScreenMenuBar set to true, the popup is no longer dismissed when I open a menu from the screen menu. The popup eventually gets dismissed as a result of a menu item selection change notification.
I set a breakpoint where the JPopupMenu is dismissed and found that on Windows, the popup is dismissed by an AWTEventListener in javax.swing.plaf.BasicPopupMenuUI. This same AWTEventListener is not notified when a mouse pressed occurs in the screen menu bar. I assume that it is because the screen menu items don't go through the save event dispatch as the swing components in the app.
Is there a way to get notified of events in the screen menu bar, specifically mouse events?
