SORRY! Removed my comment. You're right MENU editing redirects to backend.

It is the menu editing which is a redirect to the admin interface. Which is
by design and the intended behaviour

Seems to be fixed.

But why does this particular edit redirect to the admin interface? What is the point of enabling front end editing for menus, when you are forced to use the admin interface anyway?

The point is to make it easier for you - you dont have to open admin, go to
menu manager, search for the correct menu item.

Yes it would be better if it was done completely on the frontend - but no
one has written any code to do that (if it is even possible)

It would be great, if it could be fixed. I run a number of community websites where trusted - but non-technical - users create all the content, and I prefer to keep them off the admin interface (which can be overwhelming to some). Thanks to the front-end editing even fairly inexperienced users can do a lot of the website editing, and it would be helpful if the menus too were front-end editable. I hope somebody will look into it.

I'm unable to understand this , as no such kind of issue occurs on my system. I get the expected result , as there is no redirection to the backend. Correct me if I'm missing out anything.

Yes you are completely missing everything

I can see Joergenlarsen's logic. Brian, we are showing it in the front-end to make it easier for the user, the user then is taken to the backend which is fine and works well making it very simple. But when you want to edit multiple menu items from the front-end busing this nice easy way, it becomes very laborious.

What Joergenlarsen is trying to say from what I can gather, is that if you edit a menu item from the front-end, once you have finished and click either, save & close or cancel that it should redirect you back to page you were viewing before going to the admin area.

I read it that they expected the editing of the menu to be done on the
front end just as editing the module is done on the front end. (not a bad
idea at all but it needs someone to write that code)

There is currently no need for a redirect on save because the admin
interface for editing the menu item was opened in a new tab

Correct and I agree.

I suspect you are then right and the user is expecting it to be like the Module Manager front end editing. Which I can also understand, but with the being in a new tab is kind of pointless as you are still on the same place and it's a single click to close.

I think this issue can be closed therefore in my opinion.

Closed as expected behaviour
