A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When adding a java.awt.MenuBar to a JFrame, the height of the MenuItems does not scale with the rest of the window. As the text of the MenuItems retains the normal size, the MenuItems overlap.

This behaviour is present in many popular libraries and applications. One example is ImageJ/Fiji, which has hundreds of different MenuItems as main user input. Bugs like this give an application an unprofessional appearance.
