SYMPTOMS
When you use the Menu Editor to add top-level menu items without adding any drop-down items, and you save or close the resource, upon opening the Menu Resource again, the Resource Editor displays the top-level menu items as pop-up menus.

<div class="resolution_section">

RESOLUTION
Right-click and clear the View As Popup check box. This will display the top-level menus horizontally.

<div class="status_section">

This behavior is by design.
