Expanded root menu item in the main menu with all sub-items not accessible by the current user renders an empty dropdown menu. The root menu item itself is not clickable.

Bootstrap 3, out of the box, only supports a single level of dropdowns. The above patch belongs in a sub-theme. Also, see the related issue for other possible solutions/workarounds.

It is not a question of number of menu levels. Step by step:

  1. Fresh 8.4 Drupal installation (standard profile)
  2. Download bootstrap 3 theme and enable it setting as default ( admin/appearance )
  3. * for bootstrap 3.6 on drupal 8.4 you needs to apply #2903656-3: Updating to Drupal core 8.4.0-beta1 results in not working dropdown menu
  4. Add a new entry to the main menu ( admin/structure/menu/manage/main/add ) linking to the main admin page ( menu link title: "Administration", link URL: "/admin" ). Add it as a child of the existing "Home" menu entry (Parent link: Main navigation -> --Home)
  5. Edit the existing "Home" menu entry and set it as expanded ( admin/structure/menu/link/standard.front_page/edit )
  6. Go to homepage as site administrator. Now the home main menu entry is a dropdown with "Administration" as a child option
  7. Log out. Now as anonymous user the "Home" link is still working as a dropdown but since anonymous as no access to the admin page, the dropdown is empty and the "Home" link doesn't work. That's the bug I'm reporting.

Please, watch the attached video.
