This is split away from JDK-8164979, for ease of bug fixing. This issue covers the following issue:

Incorrect selection while navigating between menu items. To reproduce:
- select the first menu (by mouse or keyboard);
- move the selection pointer to the second item by pushing DOWN key;
- collapse menu by ESC key or select the second item;
- select the first menu again;
- press DOWN arrow key
Third item will be selected. It seems that the the last selection state is restored.
