Found an issue in the Active Menu item where there was no way to choose a HTML override option for an article. If the article was a active menu and a layout override was chosen in the article it would not work. So a option was needed in the article menu to resolve this.
New option placed in the menu area for article selection called Choose Layout.
Updated logic to check for this new field in the view for com_content/view/article/

Still looking to see this resolved in the upcoming version of Joomla! 2.5.x - can I please have a statement as to why this bug will not be accepted or at least even looked at?
Moved to proper tracker. http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=29526
Hi,
I just met this bug, too (Joomla 3.0.3)
I think similar fix should be prepared for all menu items where View is checking for an Alternative layout,
for example com_contact/views/category/tmpl/default.xml.
Quick workaround before we move forward is to create Alternative menu item in your template.

I'm closing this as it's not mergeable and 1 year old. Feel free to open if you update it and are still interested in get it merged.
Thanks for contributing.
It looks like e2a51d9 has already been merged in to 3.x, please see https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/master/components/com_content/views/article/view.html.php#L82
You are correct - it has already been merged. Interesting how that got in there.
Thanks for confirming. I've closed the corresponding tracker item, which I believe was for 2.5, as new features are only being accepted for 3.x.
Not a problem - the code is in there for 3.x - that's all that matters.
Although it would be nice to get in 2.x since it is a bug. But that is just my opinion.
You're right, it should be fixed in 2.5 as well, if it's not already. For some reason, I thought that it was a feature request and not a bug.
No - this is a bug - not a feature request.
Confirmed to still be a bug in 2.5.14. I'm going to create a new pull request as the patch on the tracker needs to be changed slightly to work. I'll post a link in a minute.
Thanks @spignataro!
What about other components?
This patch fixes issue only for com_content.
This issue only effect com_content in my tests.
Tracker issue posted: http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=28626
Although I am not sure why it looks like it is in the wrong spot.
Kindest regards,
