I am having a similar problem. The mandatory checkbox does not save on options/user fields.
I am using 3.2.2
I’m having the exact same problem. Adding a page as a child of the page set as ‘front page’ in reading settings does not add it in the menu as expected.
The page menu does not recognise the child relationship and puts the page to the end of the navigation list, and not within a <ul class=”children” as you would expect.
WP 3.2.1
Is it possible to have a drop-down from a home page button, or should i just update to 3.3?
