Double Badges with JMenuItem setHorizontalTextPosition on Win

Question

When used JMenuItem setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.LEFT)with Windows Look and Feel, two icons are displayed. It works great with the standard Java Look and Feel.

I just wrote a Java bug report posting here for someone else having the same issue.

Does anyone have another workaround? Thanks.

    ImageIcon icon = createIcon();

    JMenuItem menuItem = new JMenuItem("Command", icon);
    menuItem.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.LEFT);
    menu.add(menuItem);
    menuBar.add(menu);

    frame.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
    frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 500));
    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);
}

protected static ImageIcon createIcon() {
    BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(25,25,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
    Graphics g = bi.createGraphics();
    g.setColor(Color.RED);
    g.fillOval(0,0, 25, 25);
    return new ImageIcon(bi);
}

}

To align the icon and caption text from left to right:

  JMenuItem menuItem3 = new JMenuItem("LEFT_TO_RIGHT", createIcon());
  menuItem3.setHorizontalTextPosition(JMenuItem.RIGHT);
  menuItem3.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.LEFT_TO_RIGHT);

The above code worked for me.
