Whenever I try to add a menu item to a parent that is another parent item I get the arrow that indicates that there is a level underneath but it does not expand. Any hints?

I've noticed that to get multilevel (nested) menus to function, you can not use url aliases. You must define the menu items using the absolute path, for example '/node/xxx' . I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

Yes, I was using URL aliases. Does anyone have a patch or know when it will be fixed? I am of the opinion that nodes should be transparent to the user and that the URL should make sense; my website is small enough to have effective aliases.

It will still work and look fine. Just use the node/xxxx when creating the menu. On mouse hover and clicking it will still show the alias. Does this make sense? In other words, those nodes can have still have aliases. You just have to define the actual nodes when creating the menu.

I just helped someone with this the other day. See:

Alright, everything looks good now. Thanks for pointing that out
