This started happening a couple minor versions ago for 7.x.

Basically when installing a module that defines menu items under "admin/config/*" they don't show up by default and require a manual cache clear in order to recreate the menu.

Not sure where this regression came in but it's kind of annoying, IMO the menu cache should be automatically cleared when new modules are enabled/disabled.

Thanks!

Are you sure this was working before? I am living with this since forever (at least it feels like that) and always thought this was just another "menu" issue I have to live with.

@dddave, I've been working with Drupal 7 on a daily basis for over a year now and I only started noticing this recently... Maybe its always been there and my compulsive cache-clearing has prevented me from seeing it earlier.

Either way, if its not a regression I guess its just a plain old bug :)

I have noticed this too, but it only happens when I enable modules via Drush. Can anyone confirm this?

@naxoc, I can confirm that it doesn't happe exclusively when using Drush, I've had this happen when using the vanilla UI too.

Sounds like this could use a test.
