He used rootcandy as an admin theme. This is only used for admin pages/paths. I don't know what theme it was with the menu, sorry.
However, I had a look at the data in the table menu_links and that does make sense and looks wholly consistent with what I expect.
I don't think there is something wrong with your database. You just
It seemed to me, and still does, that the menus are configured to expand. I examined the data as a diagnostic technique, to see whether I could believe they are expandable.
don't have a drop-down menu ;) If your theme doesn't have this feature the easiest way to get it is probably to install a module like https://drupal.org/project/nice_menus.
Thanks for your efforts to help me. I was unwilling to believe that menu functionality incorporated into base Drupal isn't actually usable with any standard theme.
I happened to have a fresh virtual CentOS6 system to hand so I installed the necessary software to run D6 and D7 and set up one of each with just the base Drupal software, no additional modules and tested the menus.
In both cases, I can configure primary/main menus that are expandable, but that do not expand.
The Mannelli theme does expand the menus on D7, but not on D6.
Eventually, I have taken your advice and installed nice_menus and it does work nicely in the Navigation block.
