SYMPTOMS
Nested Custom Menu items revert to their default "Custom Menu #" name after you restart Developer Studio twice.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Customize, and then click the Commands tab.
 * 2) In the Category list, select New Menu.
 * 3) Drag and drop the New Menu item from the Command list box to an empty space on the toolbar.
 * 4) A disabled menu "Custom Menu 1" will appear. Click it once and an empty menu should drop down from it.
 * 5) Add a command to the Custom Menu 1 menu by selecting File from the Category list and dragging the File "New" image to the custom menu.
 * 6) Right-click Custom Menu 1, and click Button Appearance.
 * 7) Change the name from Custom Menu 1 to TEST.
 * 8) Repeat steps 2 through 6; however, make the new menu a submenu of TEST by placing it on the TEST menu.
 * 9) Rename the new submenu from Custom Menu 2 to SUB1.
 * 10) Exit Developer Studio.
 * 11) Start Developer Studio and verify the custom menu and submenu names.
 * 12) Exit Developer Studio.
 * 13) Start Developer Studio and click TEST once.

RESULTS: SUB1 has reverted back to the default name Custom Menu 2.
