Mate Advanced Menu does not appear when using Mutiny

[Brian]

On mate 16.10, and 17.04 (and i believe it happened before in 16.04, and it happens on another computer system as well) when i enable any menu besides the simple "Main Menu" the menu will not display in the sidebar, and mate starts acting strange (sometimes crashes entirely and nothing works, or adding and managing applets becomes very slow and stutters)

By skipping the pre-defined mutiny theme and assembling a similar layout yourself, the advanced menu can be carried over from the Redmond layout, but if you remove it and try to add it again, it disappears and does not work. Also by logging out it will try to assign your previous layout partially (a duplicate notifications menu and "show the desktop" button) and the advanced menu will also be missing.

Usually after a while Ubuntu will show a error message and ask to report it, which i have done in the past.

I confirmed I have this problem as well ...

Wanted to report it too. But saw that it has been already reported.

This was fixed in Ubuntu MATE 17.10 recently with the release of mate-menu 17.10.0.

I'm on Ubuntu 17.10 and I can't find the Advanced Menu option in MATE tweak. Has this option been removed?

Can you reproduce this bug with newer version of Ubuntu MATE?
