I just ran into trouble with the AreaDescriptionFilter of Spark using MVC 2 Beta.

The following line is from my Application.spark file. It results in the view engine looking in all possible locations of the view - except in the folders of the area "Shell".

# Html.RenderAction("ShowMainMenu", "Navigation", new { area = "Shell" });

Running the same action using http://localhost/Shell/Navigation/ShowMainMenu executes fine and recognizes the area's view directory as expected.

Any ideas how to fix this?
