Mac OS X 10.7.5

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
An OS X application using the...
apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true
property loses it's main JFrame menus after a different JFrame is dismissed.
Both do this...
   		menuBar = new JMenuBar();
 		setJMenuBar(menuBar);

If the other JFrame does not do this the problem didn't appear to occur.
The other JFrame is dismissed with a cancel button which does a
setVisible(false);
dispose()


REGRESSION.  Last worked in version 6u31

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run the test case with something like...
java -Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true MainMenu
  From the screen menubar select New Sub from the SubWindow menu.
The subwindow should appear in the upper left hand corner.
Select the cancel button.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The main window activates and regains focus with it's menu in place.
ACTUAL -
The main window activates and regains focus but it's SubWindow menu is missing.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Giving another application focus and then reselecting the test application restores the menu.

I believe in coming up with the test case the removing the
		menuBar = new JMenuBar();
 		setJMenuBar(menuBar);
also seemed to work. I had to add this to cause the faiure.
