Re: SetMenuOptionFlags(menu, MENUFLAG_BUTTON_NOVOTE) results in misaligned menu

I don't understand what is wrong with this menu? Cosmetically it looks fine.

Re: SetMenuOptionFlags(menu, MENUFLAG_BUTTON_NOVOTE) results in misaligned menu

The menu is supposed to be:

8. Back
9. Next

both coloured in orange.

Like this one:

Disclaimer we might not have enough to work with in order to solve it here.

1. You're using old syntax
2. You didn't even follow the wiki for writing this. Whats the point of using the old syntax and not using the SM wikis?

Not saying you're wrong or bashing you. But I recommend using the new pawn syntax. And if you stick to the old then follow the instructions on creating a menu.

Votes usually don't have an Exit button, so Previous and Next get moved down.

Saving slots does make sense but I would expect the control to at least be coloured orange (the glance value of a gray 0. Next control feels misleading). This excerpt from Halt's link also suggests this behavior is not intended:

Quote:

"Next" is always drawn as the second navigation item, second from the last supported position. This will not be drawn if the menu only contains one page. If there are no further pages, the text will not be drawn on either style; if possible, the menu will be padded so spacing is consistent.

Valve Style position: 7
Radio Style position: 9

I've edited the example in the OP to be from the wiki and in new syntax.
