Not a regression. Reproduced issue in 201.3 and Flex 3.

The workaround is only a partial solution, because with sub-menus if you hover they display on top of the original menu (which could completely hide the original menu possibly). Also, if you click on the sub-menu link it then shows the sub-menu underneath the original menu which makes it impossible to select sub-menu options.

I saw the patch on the duplicate issue of this was rejected? Any ideas when a patch that won't be rejected will be added? (sorry, I'm new so still learning how the bug process works).

Just to clarify, is this closed because of the duplicate?

Joshua,

Correct, this bug was closed because it was a duplicate of issue SDK-14783 .

@Peter, You should add this as a Flex Cookbook post. FYI, in my Custom ActionScript Class that extends MenuBar, the Menu does not yet exist during the initialize phase, so I had to use a creationComplete listener/handler:

package
{
    import mx.controls.Menu;
    import mx.controls.MenuBar;
    import mx.events.FlexEvent;

    public class CustomMenuBar extends MenuBar
    {
        public function CustomMenuBar()
        {
            super();

            addEventListener(FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE,
                                        creationCompleteHandler);
        }

        private function creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
        {
            var menu:Menu = this.getMenuAt(0);

            menu.show(0, 0);

            menu.hide();
        }
    }
}
