Kendo Menu wierdness

[Bill]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a menu in my MVC 4 _Layout.cshtml file.

I started from the example and I hacked it up to show the structure I want.  The problem is that when I use the syntax:
children.Add().Text("Application Home").Action("Index", "Home");

Sometimes the menu item is placed correctly with the action wired up.  Other times the action appears to be causing some kind of error, (page compiles fine), but the item is not shown.  If I remove the Action method, the 
item shows up where it's supposed to.

I've attached the entire menu code.  Can someone please help?

001.@(Html.Kendo().Menu()
002.          .HighlightPath(true)
003.          .Name("Menu")
004.          .Items(items =>
005.          {
006.            items.Add()
007.                .Text("Home")
008.                .Items(children =>
009.                {
010.                    children.Add().Text("Website Home");
011.                    children.Add().Text("Application Home").Action("Index", "Home");
012.                });

Nevermind.

It turns out that the menu code appears to be respecting the authorize attributes on my controllers and actions and only shows the actions appropriate for the current user role.

[Authorize(Roles = "Admin, CompanyAdmin")]


Cool!  Might be nice to say this in the docs...
