I am not sure if WebDataMenu was a new control in v11.1, but it seems really buggy.
I added 4 root menu items and made the third root menu item have 2 child menu items. The 4th item does not show up - there seems to be space for it, but hovering or clicking does nothing and the words for the menu item do appear to show up at all.
Also when I try to reduce the font using the webdatamenu property Font-size, the any of the other CssClass properties available at different levels, the font size (and also color) do not change.
Additionally I wanted to change the height of the menu "bar" and this did shrink to the appropriate size, but the text stayed in the same position it was in before and I could find no way to get it to shift so that it was no longer partially "cut off". Also there is now a "gap" between the 3rd root menu item and its children.
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Hi Prabha,
After a *lot* of experimentation, I think I see what is happening.
It seems that the menu calculates what size it should be and then, depending on font size and weight, renders what will fit in that box, cutting off anything that won't fit.
My setup: I'm using StyleSetName="Claymation", and I've been modifying ig_datamenu.css. In my case, the class that is causing the problem turns out to be .igdm_ClaymationControlHorizontal a:link, .igdm_ClaymationControlHorizontal :visited (because of settings in .igdm_ClaymationControlHorizontal -- including overflow: hidden;).
The CSS class consists of:
font-family:Verdana,Arial,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida,Helvetica,Sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; color: #ffffff;
With this font size and weight, all the elements of the menu display (depending on the user type, one of two menus can display, one considerably shorter than the other). Also, the full menu displays if I comment out the weight or change it to font-weight: inherit.
However, as I increase the font size, more and more items get removed from the right-hand side of the menu (the only time nothing gets lost is for size = 10px or size = inherit). Eyeballing both the shorter and longer menus, I can approximate where the cutoff point will be, and that point is different for the two menus, supporting my conjecture that an internal calculation is done for each menu, not that there is some absolute cutoff point.
The easiest way to attempt to replicate this is to focus on the font size rather than the font weight, as using the size is obviously easier to increase/decrease the overall size of the menu.

Hello Charles,
I will update this forum thread once there is a resolution for the missing item.
Let me know if you would like me to notify you once this is resolved. I will create a case for you and link it to development issue.
Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this matter.
Will you be posting any resolution on this thread as well (better than opening a ticket for everyone who views this thread).
We've run into the same disappearing menu item issue (#1 on the original post), and our edits of ig_datamenu.css (.igdm_ClaymationMenuItemHorizontalRootLink, in our case) have not resolved the issue for us.

Hello Baron Consultant,
As Greg suggested you can work around the missing item issue by overriding the .igdm_MenuItemHorizontalRootLink CSS class like below
.igdm_MenuItemHorizontalRootLink
{
font-weight:bold;
}
For the issue regarding the missing the last item when zoom in-out, I am not able to reproduce this issue, I see all items when I zoom in-out in IE. I have attached a video and sample to demonstrate the same.
