Empty menus can be selected in the menu widget, but will appear broken

[guyn]

When the widget area is longer than the main content, the widgets get cut off (image attached).

This is a bug in the theme and should not bother most users (I guess).

Have a look at the footer (above the powered by) taken in Chrome

What is that last widget there? We've all been using Twenty Ten for some time, in many cases running with very little content, and thus the widgets will often be longer than the content. I've never seen this.

Also, I use Chrome on both Mac and XP and haven't seen this.

I can not repdroduce it too, I use the same widgets and a short content: ​http://grab.by/4EFY
Seems like the last list is broken.

Closing as worksforme. Please re-open with steps to reproduce.

The problem is actually caused by the Menu widget.
I moved it to the top of the sidebar and the problem persist.
Have a look at : ​http://testing.motif.co.il/
I'm using version 3.0-RC1-15059 all plugins are disabled.

Your menu widget is included in:

<div class="menu">

But it should be:

<div class="menu-testmenu-container">

testmenu is the name of the menu. What is your menu name?

I double checked the menus page and was able to locate the problem.

When an empty menu is created and selected in the menu widget, the widget will appear broken. I am able to reproduce the problem with additional menues.

Specifically it appears that the pages I added to the menu I created were saved in draft mode, which actually left the menu empty. On a side note, I'm unable to reproduce the "Draft save" for menus, it might be time based.

Oh, nice catch, yes if the menu is empty we will fallback to the page list. I think we shouldn't do that.

I agree with ocean90: if the menu widget is empty, it's probably because someone is in the process of building it; the user would have chosen the pages widget if that's what was desired.

Patch no-menu-widget-fallback.13634.diff keeps the menu widget from falling back to the pages widget.

(In [15074]) Don't fall back to pages list in the menus widget. props filosofo, fixes #13634.
