For both navbar and menus in Bootstrap 3 the caret indicating child menu items only shows up when you are on the parent page. For example I have 'Add Content' on the Navigation Menu which is displayed on all pages for logged in users. The only time the caret shows up indicating there are sub-items on the menu is when I am on /node/add/
The same thing happens on the navbar. I have created children under a navbar item called Directory at /groups/company-directory. The caret at Directory doesn't display unless I am on /groups/company-directory
Obviously this means there is no visual feedback for the user on the rest of the site to know that there are child menu items.

valkum CreditAttribution: valkum commentedOh sry. messed up cause of a bug in dev.
I can't reproduce your behaviour in todays dev version. Please be sure that you set always expanded to the right menu item.
Because of #2120793: Links and headers with IDs can be malformed by anchor-fix mixin. its quite a mess to click the right menu item.
Please verify that your navbar top level item is alway expanded.

amcc CreditAttribution: amcc commentedupgrading to dev didn't help
but if you set the parent menu item to always expanded it fixes the issue - so this is probably expected behaviour and was my bad!
