Comment (by abcd95):

 Hi @joedolson and thanks for reporting this issue.

 I think the problem occurs because, in `nav-menu.js`, the code is
 incorrectly calling the `updateParentDropdown()` and
 `updateOrderDropdown()` methods on the menus object (which is just a
 localization object with UI strings) instead of on the proper jQuery
 object.

 See here -


 The fix is straightforward - we need to call these methods on the menu
 container jQuery object `($('#menu-to-edit'))`


 I'll submit a PR with this fix shortly which in my testing resolves the
 console errors.
