Accelerators are displayed as Meta instead of the Command symbol ( &#8984; ).
It also appears like something is wrong with java.util.preferences, i.e. it just doesn't work/save preferences.

Hi Guys, This is a customer originated bug. This text is surfaced to users and we have customers complaining they don't know what key to press as there is no concept of a 'Meta' key to Mac end users, or any users. While the meta key is little used in general Windows applications, it is easily the most common modifier for OSX application shortcuts. A fix of this regression is therefore highly desirable on that platform as users have simply no clue that when they read 'Meta' they are meant to press 'Cmd'. Thanks, Neil
