What I did was not a fix but a decent substitute until someone finds a real answer. I input the first item in the dropdown menu’s url to the custom navigation link.
Example:
Products
– Hats
– Gloves
– Coats
The url that I input for the custom link, “Products” is the url for the “hats” page.
here’s the link to the code http://pastebin.com/QYKQWA3f
