Description
Now, when AWT team introduced API to use native mouse grab functionality we have no excuse not to use it for all the menu components. Without it menu does not work correctly for mocus-follows-mouse configurations and for window managers this rule strictly imposed menu does not work at all. Needs to be fixed in a proper way now.

Comments
EVALUATION The idea of suggested fix is to use newly provided by AWT fuinctionality to control popup visibility instead of the old scheme of window state watching.
