[menus] submenu in popup menu does not show up when manually populated [message #335245]

Submenu in popup menus does not show up when (manually) populated through
the IMenuService and the popup menu is not registered through a view's
site, i.e. IViewSite.registerContextMenu().

Is this a bug or is this not supported?

Code:
//this does not populate submenu in popup menus
ContributionManager contributionManager = ...
menuService.populateContributionManager( contributionManager,
"popup:my.unique.popupMenu" )

//this works when registering popup menu in a view site
getSite().registerContextMenu( "my.unique.popupMenu", ... )

In addition:
Only submenus do not work in popup menu. Commands (actions) are shown
properly.

This should work fine ... which submenu is not showing up? Or do you
mean you are populating that ID but no popup.any contributions show up?
Does your MenuManager have removeAllWhenShown set to true?

Please give an example of the XML that is not showing up for you.
