Description
I'm actually not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but it seems like a bug.
When you select the advanced configuration choice of Expanded for a menu, I expect that it will be expanded regardless of theme, but in multiflex it collapses. I looked for a tag that I could use to style them, but there's no indicator they were ever marked to be expanded.
I've looked at ways to fix it, but I don't see how. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. It's a beautiful theme.

I'm having this problem too.

Hi. Sorry not to post a proper patch but I'm still very much a newbie. The problem comes from a theme override function in template.php. The code for this function was adapted from the nice_menus module and doesn't take into account menus set to be always expanded.
Here is a fix that works:
I added these lines:
<?phpfunction phptemplate_menu_tree($pid=1) {
// Code adapted from the nice_menus module
// generates nested <ul> <li> lists
$menu = menu_get_menu($pid);
$output = '';
if ($menu['visible'][$pid]['children']) {
foreach ($menu['visible'][$pid]['children'] as $mid) {
// Check whether the menu type is set; if so, assign it to $type; if not set $type to NULL
$type = isset($menu['visible'][$mid]['type']) ? $menu['visible'][$mid]['type'] : NULL;
if (count($menu['visible'][$mid]['children']) > 0) {
$output.= "<li>".menu_item_link($mid);
// Check if the menu item is in the active trail OR if the menu type is "always expanded"
if ((menu_in_active_trail($mid)) || ($type & MENU_EXPANDED)) { // only output children if they should be seen
$output.= "<ul>";
$tmp = phptemplate_menu_tree($mid);
$output.= $tmp;
$output.= "</ul>";
}
$output.= "</li>";
}
else {
$output.= "<li>".menu_item_link($mid)."</li>";
}
}
}
return $output;
}
?>

I'm only 5 days into Drupal and on v. 5 - but isn't this handled by dhtml_menu-5.x-0.7.tar?
