Name: gm110360			Date: 09/07/2004


FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.5.0-rc"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-rc-b63)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-rc-b63, mixed mode, sharing)


ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Linux desktop 2.6.5-7.108-default #1 Wed Aug 25 13:34:40 UTC 2004 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux


EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
SuSE 9.1 system, with up to date (security) patches

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
setBackground worked on JMenu's that were submenus in Java 1.4.2_0X releases. With the new 1.5.0RC this is broken (see example code)

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile and the source using 1.5.0RC
- javac MenuDemo.java
- java MenuDemo
- Fold-out the first menu "A menu" and look at the bottom most menu-item.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Bottom most menu-item should have the same (modified) background color as the menu-items above it.
ACTUAL -
Bottom most menu-item has the standard (non-overruled) menu background color.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
