I have version 2.5.6 and this issue exists (brand new install). No matter what setting I use, submenu's either never show or show 100% of the time .. if you mouse over the text "Show sub-menu items", you will see that if you check yes, submenu items ALWAYS show - "Expand the menu and make its submenu items always visible" .. Checking the box yes, does make them always show, every page, 100% of the time .. checking no means they never show .. setting the levels to 2 or higher or even "ALL" doesn't matter .. the checkboxes "yes" and "no" to show submenu items is all that does anything...

I've read so many many solutions, but every version I have seen a solution for was for version 1.#.# as far as I can find ..

I also got the same issue with setting the template to beez5 (saw that as a possible solution early in my search here and was a quick and easy try to see if it worked, though obviously not) .. with all these solutions given in so many postings, I haven't a clue what will work on my version and have no desire to try and use them all in an attempt to fix the issue .. not into trying a wide range of band-aid patches to try and find a resolution ..

What is the template you are using? If you are using any of the default templates such as beez_20 and beez_5, be informed that the template does not support drop-down menus.

You could do it manually be creating appropriate css entries. Review of the document http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_CSS_Drop_down_Menu would be of help.

Alternatively, you could review, test and use third party extensions that are listed at http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/structure-a-navigation/menu-systems/drop-a-tab-menus.
