15837,Custom Taxonomy: Admin Menu Not Selecting Current Item,sterlo,,"Story: Developing a plugin that adds a Custom Post Type and then a Taxonomy.

Problem: Adding the Taxonomy and displaying the Menu Item on the Admin section, when selecting the menu item - there seems to be a difference in functionality depending on what tag the Taxonomy hooks onto.

For example code:
{{{
      register_taxonomy(
        'mytaxonomy',
        'myposttype',
        array( 
          'labels' => array(
            'name' => 'Manage XXX',
            'add_new_item' => 'Add New XXX',
            'new_item_name' => 'New XXX Name',
            'add_new' => 'Add New XXX',
            'singular_name' => 'XXX'
          ),  
          'public' => false,
          'publicly_queryable' => true,
          'show_ui' => true,
          'hierarchical' => true,
          'rewrite' => array(
            'slug' => 'XXX',
            'with_front' => false
          ),  
          'query_var' => 'XXX'
        )
      );
}}}

The above code adds the Menu Item for the Taxonomy to the new Custom Post Type menu I created.

When I select the new Taxonomy...it ""open"" or ""behaves"" as though it expects to see it under the ""post"" tag.

It does not select the Taxonomy Menu Item as ""current"".

Expected result: Select Taxonomy Menu Item -> Menu Item obtains CSS class of ""current"".

Actual result: Select Taxonomy Menu Item -> Menu Item doesn't obtain a CSS class and IF the Posts menu was ""collapsed"" it expands.

Now - conversely if I add the Taxonomy Menu Item to the tag ""post"" - it DOES add the CSS class.

This seems to be inconsistent functionality and I believe that it's not there's something surrounding it that has to be malfunctioning.",defect (bug),new,normal,Awaiting Review,General,3.0.3,normal,,,
