phtmlb popupMenu

I'm having trouble with this popupMenu again. I want the popupmenu to be opened initially, using the element attribute firstLevelVisible. Well, that doesn't exactly work for me. It seems to become part of the popupTrigger, making another copy of itself slide out, so I'm sitting there with two popup menus, exactly the same. It does this for me in sbspext_phtmlb as well.

Setting this attribute throws off my layout too.

Could someone test this out in sbspext_phtmlb too? Just set the firstLevelVisible attribute to TRUE.
