Description

Description:

The Material 3 specs states that the text appearance of menu items should be LabelLarge: https://m3.material.io/components/menus/specs

However, the text appearance of menu items in MDC is BodyLarge: https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/blob/a069c4c13ec8e160720b296554636037ce8bace4/lib/java/com/google/android/material/theme/res/values/themes_base.xml#L232
