[syslinux] Menu system bug - MENU DEFAULT not working

[Tomas M]

Yes of course, as I wrote in my previous post, I tried unique labels,
it makes no change.
MENU DEFAULT just doesn't work. You can try it yourself, just use the
following config, and select the second row option (OptionB) ... It
should show a menu where the second row is default, but instead it
shows a menu with first row default:


UI vesamenu.c32

PROMPT 0

MENU BEGIN test0
   MENU START
   LABEL unique1
   MENU DEFAULT
   MENU LABEL OptionA
   MENU GOTO test1

   LABEL unique2
   MENU LABEL OptionB
   MENU GOTO test2
MENU END

MENU BEGIN test1
   LABEL unique3
   MENU LABEL OptionA1
   MENU GOTO test0

   LABEL unique4
   MENU DEFAULT
   MENU LABEL OptionB1
   MENU GOTO test0
MENU END

MENU BEGIN test2
   LABEL unique5
   MENU LABEL OptionA2
   MENU GOTO test0

   LABEL unique6
   MENU DEFAULT
   MENU LABEL OptionB2
   MENU GOTO test0
MENU END

Thank you for your thoughts.
