[wp-testers] "Menus" broken with today's build (03-23-10)

"Please though, no "it just doesn't work" tickets"

Wouldn't think of it. ;-)

The problem I was referring to (please disregard #3--mistake on my part) 
probably wouldn't be worth a ticket anyway since it was just the act of 
updating to the latest nightly that caused it with no errors in the 
logs. Pretty scanty info to go on.

I think one of the problems is that in order to setup up say, Categories 
and Blogroll type drop down menus on the main menu bar is that there's 
no way to set a top menu title under which the drop down menu items 
reside (Top level menu title = "Categories" and "Blogroll" in this case).

I know that sounds kind of obvious but as it stands now, for categories 
I have to create an new empty category called (surprisingly enough) 
"Categories", add that to my "Main" menu and then list (drag) all my 
"real" categories under it. With the "Blogroll" I've been creating an 
empty page called...er..."Blogroll", added the page to the "Main" menu 
and then adding my actual blog roll links via the "Custom Links" section 
in the "Menus" sidebar and then dragging and dropping them onto the 
"Blogroll" page. This, of course, lists them under "Blogroll" in the 
"Main" menu bar under the header image in the 2010 theme.

I'm probably doing this all wrong but I'm not seeing another way to do 
it at the moment but as you said, Menus are very much a work in progress 
right now.

And sorry about the long post here. I'm real wordy that way. :D
