Description
In a Swing applet running within Mac OS, Safari/Firefox the JMenuItem(s) is 
not showing when using browsers full screen.

Upon minimising, the JMenuItem(s) can be seen again.
Comments
The fix caused a regression - JDK-8048506. Should we take JDK-8048506 in PSU15_01 as well?

The fix doesn't contain a regression test because testing would require manual interaction and is applicable to Mac OS X only.

On Mac OS X when a browser is in full screen mode, applet's popup is displayed behind the browser's window. Suggested fix: change the collection behaviour for the popup windows to make them visible when the browser runs in full screen mode.
