By default XF has various default main tabs that include:
Major addons will add more tabs. I have 13 such addons, which by default leads to a massive number of tabs, hidden by horizontal scroll. To avoid this issue its needed to move most of these tabs to a new parent.
When we use the navigation manager to make our own main tabs and make those the parent of the the aforementioned tabs, then I would expect those navigation entries to become visible on the secondary navigation. But this is not the case. Instead the secondary navigation is empty and only displays as a tiny empty bar.
In the default style, its visually not too prominent because its a white bar on grey background. But on a custom style with different colors it jumps out prominently. The main issue is that you would expect to see links there no matter which tab is active. Now it only displays links in sub navigation if a default tab is active. Clicking back and forth between such main tabs makes it seem broken.
From my view this is unexpected and unwanted behaviour. Its probably somewhere inbetween a bug/issue report and a suggestion. But it would be mighty nice if this issue would be resolved. Because its a header issue, all site users see it and it looks broken to the average user.
