Control Panel menu's in rare conditions rendered more than once

[Don Schoeman]

I have a fairly customised menu structure within PHPDevShell and recently found that many of the menu items within the control panel was rendered multiple times.

I'm not sure if there is something broken within my own menu since an output of the navigation array shows everything is correct. There are no duplicates in the database and no problematic cache issues either. The Menu administration page shows everything is correct as well.

The problem occurs in my case within controlPanel.query.php:childCP() recursive function which builds its own array of control panel menu items. It seems the function iterates over the same menu items multiple times which then creates multiple entries for the same menu items in the array.

I have the same problem with a menu having 2 submenus, which have a lot of submenus

Greg, is the problem only in the Control Panel itself like mine? If have fixed the control panel issue but can't push the patch at the moment as the current 3.1.4 branch (846) seems to be broken. Currently colaborating with Jason on that.

Sorry, meant to say: "I have fixed the control panel issue" instead of "If have fixed the control panel issue".

The fix seems to work ok for me, but only for the icons of the control panel ; the menus still show duplicates
