I have discovered the hard way that you cannot duplicate and rename snippets and expect the two to behave independently if both called on the same page.  As far as I can tell, the first of the snippets you call will override all other versions.

To be specific, I was playing with the DropMenu variation that adds Access Keys.  I didn't feel like modifying the version I have already modified to include a "here" class when using selfAsLink.  So I just duplicated it, replaced the content with the version adding access keys, and modified the name.  Then in my top menu I call DropMenuAK directly from the template.  In my left sidebar TV I call DropMenuL.  Both are called with selfAsLink set to true.  Both show the access keys, neither have the "here" class.

 I then tried deleting all copies and creating new, with totally unrelated names.  Same behavior.  No caching, by the way.

However, if I call the version in the left without selfAsLink, that works, the active page item is not a link.  But it still has the accesskey tags added to it!

Sounds like DropMenu needs to join MemberCheck and NewsListing in the change to a real class. Anyone up for assisting with this?
