@Andreas Otto †:
You describe a totally different problem. Please set up another bug report for your issue.
Besides: How do you create a "content element of type menu/sitemap as jsmenu"?!? (Please explain in your new bug report - not here.)

To reproduce the original problem and its cure take these steps:

- In a virgin TYPO3...

- build a page tree like this:
P1
P2
P3
P4
P5
P6
P7

- use the TS setup below
(I assume that each page has a uid corresponding to its page number, otherwise you will have to modify the uids in page.35.special.value and page.45.special.value)

This will render four JSMENUs and a conventional text menu (for comparison). Use the conventional menu to navigate to all pages and see whether the dropdowns of each JSMENU will default to the current page and its rootline (if those are contained in that JSMENU).

The only JSMENU where this will always work correctly without the patch is the first one (because it starts at the root page, which is the only case in which the old isactive algorithm is correct). The other 3 JSMENUS will NEVER default to anything (the dropdowns will always default to the empty entry).

With the patch, all JSMENUs will correctly default to the currently active page and its parents if possible.

Cheers,
Jörg
