POActionBarSherlock + split action bar menu + items with "withText" doesn't show text. How to fix?

Body
copied!<p>I'm using ActionBarSherlock and I'm trying to add an options menu to the ActionBar.</p> <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:id="@+id/menu_prev" android:title="@string/menu_previous" android:icon="@drawable/left_navigation" android:showAsAction="always|withText" /> <item android:id="@+id/menu_next" android:title="@string/menu_next" android:icon="@drawable/right_navigation" android:showAsAction="always|withText" /> </menu> </code></pre> <p>The icons are 32x32 pixels in the drawable-mdpi directory. When the ActionBar is split (portrait orientation), the icons show up but no text shows (plenty of room though). Long-pressing the icon Toasts the title. When the ActionBar is not split (landscape orientation), both the icons AND text show up as expected.</p> <pre><code>@Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { MenuInflater inflater = getSupportMenuInflater(); inflater.inflate(R.menu.main_menu, menu); return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu); } </code></pre> <p>Menu, MenuInflater, and getSupportMenuInflater() are all using the ActionBarSherlock implementations.</p> <p>The 'Application' in the manifest declares:</p> <pre><code>android:uiOptions="splitActionBarWhenNarrow" </code></pre> <p>What can I do to make it show the title of each item when in portrait orientation?</p> <p>Edit: Possibly relevant is that I'm running Android 4.0.4.</p>
