Huh, in Hendrik's case it seems he gets an even-larger checkmark even in retina mode (judging from the font size in Hendrik's screenshot). In my case I was _not_ running in retina mode.

It does not depend on an external monitor, as I don't one and have observed this, too (screenshot of a menu attached). I've seen this in a menu, that is not in the system menu bar, but in the app window itself. This happened when running an ancient version of HPJmeter. Just double-clicked on the jar, and I was able to observe the issue. ps ax | grep java 4351 ??
