[SOLVED] Can't get grub2 hidden menu

Since the upgrade to grub2 1.99~rc1, I'm not able to get hidden menu anymore. Here's my /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Arch Linux"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="elevator=noop acpi_osi=Linux fastboot logo.nologo ipv6.disable=1"

# Uncomment to enable Hidden Menu, and optionally hide the timeout count
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=3
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true

# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console

# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32

# Uncomment to allow the kernel use the same resolution used by grub
#GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep

# Uncomment if you want GRUB to pass to the Linux kernel the old parameter 
# format "root=/dev/xxx" instead of "root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx" 
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true

# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true"

I updated grub following archwiki directions and regenerated grub.cfg with grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but still no luck, grub menu comes out at every boot...

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

What about if you uncomment
#GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
and set the value to match the hidden timeout?

rebuild the config and try again, hope it helps

Nope, didn't help.
The above config file worked flawlessly with the previous version of grub, can't understand why it doesn't now...

Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to 0 did the trick.
