MenuButton/menu

I'm having an issue getting a hierarchical menu to be displayed correctly.

The following is the datasource that is generated:

<DataSource ID="categories1275636497532ds" tableName="categories">
        <fields>
                <field name="description" type="text" hidden="false" primaryKey="false" length = "100" />
                <field name="id" type="sequence" hidden="true" primaryKey="true" canEdit="false"/>
                <field name="fkParentCategoryId" type="integer" hidden="true" foreignKey="id" rootValue = "null" primaryKey="false" />
        </fields>
</DataSource>

I can see that a server OP_FETCH with correct criteria is being executed and data returned correctly for each sub menu so the appropriate items are displayed and parented correctly, but I have just two problems:

i) Instead of the field 'description' being displayed I can see that 'id' is displayed;
ii) Even though I have specified the canSelectParentItems against the menu as true, when I select a parent menu by clicking it still shows the submenu and the recordClick method is not invoked.

To address the first issue, I have tried overriding Menu.formatCellValue but this is only ever invoked with a record value which is the root item displayed within the menu. It doesn't appear to be invoked for child items.

Is there something obvious that I am missing or doing wrong?

Any pointers would be much appreciated.
