Well, I put my attention only on "Bold" option. With some NSLog messages
at method update: in NSMenu and in setEnabled: in NSMenuItem. I notice
an odd stuff. This is the result with the standard vertical menu:

As I expect, the method setEnabled: is called only when the item status
is changed. But this is the result with the menu in window:

As you can see, at the end, when the status is changed from disabled to
enabled, the method setEnabled in NSMenuItem isn't called. And I'm not
sure what happen here.
