Menu Attributes resets menu description (title attribute) when editing a page [#534472]

(I wasn't sure if this was a code, user interface or miscellaneous component!)

Whenever a page is edited, the primary link menu title attribute gets reset (nulled) when the edits are saved. Disabling the Menu Attributes Module stops this behavior.

After a page edit, you must manually reset the menu description in the Site building | menus | primary links page.

It would be nice if the menu description (title attribute was left alone by the Menu Attributes Module.

The issue is that the Menu Attributes module overwrites the $form['menu']['options'] array, which contains the description (['options']['attributes']['title']). I have a pseudo-patch, but I'm trying to follow some of the logic that the module is using and how FAPI handles it. I'll post later, it's too late here to finish it.

Attaching patch, may need work, but appears to make things work correctly on my end.

Possible fix would be to add a Title/Description edit area to the module. This would allow the user to change the title/description when creating a page or editing the page, instead of having to edit this area from the menu.
