How is your navigation menu configured? I don't believe the menu reflects the current view without additional configuration/bindings.

For it to bold the menu you have to attach a binding to the style to do so. Such as this on props.items.0.style.fontWeight

```python
if ({page.props.path} = {this.props.items[0].target}, "bold", "normal")

```
