[drupal-devel] [bug] Strange message when creating multiple custom menus

[TDobes]

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/12986

 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      4.5.0
 Component:    menu system
 Category:     bug reports
 Priority:     normal
 Assigned to:  Anonymous
 Reported by:  potion
 Updated by:   TDobes
 Status:       active

I can't seem to reproduce this, and I've used a wide variety of the
contributed phptemplate themes... I can't imagine how that could have
caused it anyway.  Can you reproduce the error with an unmodified
contrib and/or core theme? (and the unmodified phptemplate engine)

When I go to ?q=admin/menu there's a link there that says "list." 
Presumably when I click on that link it's supposed to list my menus,
but it doesn't.  In fact, my URL doesn't change when I click "list" --
I'm still at ?q=admin/menu.
By contrast, when I click on "add menu", "add menu item" or "reset
menus" I go to a different URL.  So I theorize that the hyperlink for
"list" is somehow broken, and I'm wondering what URL I need to visit to
see a list of my menus so I can edit them.
I'm also noticing some very bad behavior when I click "add menu" --
presumably that interface is for adding a menu and not a menu item. 
But when I add a menu there called "new menu3" the next screen I see
says...
    * Created new menu item new menu3.
    * Since a menu item PoetryOnWalls.com already exists for , this new
menu item was created as a shortcut to that location.
That makes no sense, since PoetryOnWalls.com isn't a menu item, it's a
menu, and something is missing after "for".  Meanwhile,
PoetryOnWalls.com does indeed appear among my blocks and can be
activated and displayed, but there's no way to add items to it since I
can't list/edit menus.
Has anyone else seen this behavior in 4.5?

There are two bug reports here. The first is "by design":
"When I go to ?q=admin/menu there's a link there that says "list."
Presumably when I click on that link it's supposed to list my menus,
but it doesn't. In fact, my URL doesn't change when I click "list" --
I'm still at ?q=admin/menu."
This is because "list" is the default tab, and you're already there.
The page should be displaying a list of menu items already. This is how
the tabs behave everywhere.
As for the strange message when you add a new menu, that might be a
legitimate bug. Retitling the issue to reflect the problem.

Could you please provide concrete steps on how to reproduce this bug
after clicking "Reset" on the "Reset Menus" tab?

this is only a problem for me when I'm using phptemplate.
I switched to chameleon and now menus are listed -- no problemo.
I went ahead and reset my menus, though, to see if that would help
matters in phptemplate.  There aren't really any steps to list to
recreate the bug -- I just click on the menus link in the admin menu
and none are listed.
but they're there in chameleon.  
trying to think if I could have done anything to the code that could
have caused this... no, I don't think so, I've really only messed with
the css and the design templates -- node.tpl.php, block.tpl.php, etc. 
Nothing that should affect the admin system.
