Description
The following test continues to fail in the JDK22 CI primarily on macosx-aarch64 machines:

java/awt/PopupMenu/PopupMenuLocation.java

We're mostly using MACH5-XXXX bugs to track these failures so
I'll include links to those bug IDs in a confidential comment.
Comments
Instability was due to host issues rather than a product or test issue. Closing as external as the test currently passes consistently.

Please, do not remove the test from the problem list under the bug against test failure without a fix. The problem was external to the JDK—mach5 hosts had an issue that led to failures `PopupMenu/PopupMenuLocation.java`. Therefore, this bug should be closed as External. Create a sub-task to remove the test from the problem list. Such an approach creates a clearer history. And it is even more important if there was a bug in JDK but it was fixed by another fix, yet we don't know which particular fix. It's important for backporting.

All the failures seem to have occurred due to a notification pop displayed on the hosts, which means it's not the problem with the test or JDK, it's a problem of the CI test infrastructure.
