rootline not working with TYPO3 4.5 menus

Question

I'm having problems with TYPO3. I have been using it for quite a few years, since version 3.8 but this is my first site using version 4.5 and I am having problems with the menus and the rootline. I believe it is related to how the rootline is created. using the code below for the breadcrumb/path type of menu only the current page is displayed. The menu only displays page X using example and code below when in page X and it should be

home > section 1 > sb a > page X

home
--- section 1
------- sub A
---------- page X
--- section 2

Also when displaying menus the ACT state isn't being properly activated. As I understand every page in the path/rootline should activate the ACT state and it is not happening with code below. Has any thing changed in this version? I have used both piece of codes in many sites up to now in version 4.5

codes

temp.breadcrumbs = HMENU
temp.breadcrumbs.special = rootline
#temp.breadcrumbs.includeNotInMenu = 1
#temp.breadcrumbs.special.range= -2 | -1
temp.breadcrumbs.special.range = 0
temp.breadcrumbs.1= TMENU
temp.breadcrumbs.1.noBlur = 1
temp.breadcrumbs.1.NO.allWrap= |&nbsp;&gt;&nbsp; |*||*|   |

## with and without line   ... special.range   ...

.....
....

temp.topmenu.1 {
   wrap = <ul>|</ul>
   # NO.allWrap = <li>|</li>  
  expAll = 1   
   NO.wrapItemAndSub = <li>|</li>  
   # Enable active state and set properties:
   ACT = 1
   ACT.wrapItemAndSub = <li class="current-menu-item">|</li>     
}
temp.topmenu.2 = TMENU
temp.topmenu.2.noBlur = 1
temp.topmenu.2 {
   wrap = <ul class="sub-menu">|</ul>
   NO.linkWrap = <li>|</li>  
   # Enable active state and set properties:
   ACT = 1
   ACT.linkWrap =  <li class="active">|</li>
   #ACT.allWrap = <li class="selected">|</li>
   #ACT.ATagBeforeWrap = 1
}

thanks

Ivan.

as cascaval wrote it's quite common to declare begin and end levels, anyway 0 value is aceptable too, as written in doc for entryLevel

Default is "0" which gives us a menu of the very first pages on the site.

Probably you put some TypoScript on the page X which has Rootlevel field checked, so it avoids traversing the tree up-side. I examined your sample code on first implementation I had available and it works as expected.
