16358	Menu items get deleted with the user who created them	nacin	ryan	"Say a user edits a nav menu or two, adding some menu items. Then, said user gets deleted. Rut roh:

`SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_author = %d`

The menu items were tied to them, therefore they are deleted.

We need to ensure that wp_delete_user() doesn't touch nav menu items.

This has repercussions for any post type that doesn't care about authors. Tempted to actually check, post_type_supports(), which is typically reserved for UI-level actions. Otherwise, post_author always gets stored, and that seems to be just a bit of a problem. (It could be argued this is a UI-level check, in terms of confirming things to delete.)

Unsure how this didn't come up previously. Reported by flashingcursor over Twitter."	defect (bug)	closed	high	3.4	Menus	3.0	major	fixed	has-patch commit needs-codex	flashingcursor aaroncampbell ben@…
