on a site I built I have a strange issue.
Until recently a specific menu was working like I expected.
But today I saw there goes something wrong on Firefox for Mac now.
I checked the site Safari and Chrome for Mac, an no problem there.
The weird thing that happens is that the links in the menu drop out of sight, except the one page that has childpages (which are not shown in this menubar).
So I think: I will use the 'inspect element' to see if I can find the problem. But the second I inspect an element the menubar looks like it should. I close the inspector and it is back to trouble again.
Any tips or insights would be helpful!
The site is http://www.wij30.nl
Okay, I fixed it, well actually I found a work-around.
The point was not that the only link that was shown was one that had child-pages. It was the one link that consisted of more than one word. And for some obscure reason it broke into 2 lines in Firefox38 for Mac. ("over WIJ" in the first line and "3.0" in the second line). Moving all the items that contained only one word down the line.
Adding some none-breaking spaces in the menu label fixed the problem for now.
But like I said: really a work-around not really a problem-solver.
If someone can tell me why Firefox38 for Mac made this happen: please tell. Thanks!

I should start by saying I'm no expert when it comes to code and web design. That said, I have recently upgraded to OS X 10.9 Mavericks. After updating I'm experiencing a weird bug, specifically on my website and others like it using the wordpress theme WPfolio Two. When you hover over a link, the link jumps and drops to the next line. As soon as you move your mouse away from the linked text the text link hops back up to the line it's supposed to be on. This only happens using Chrome or Safari, it does not seem to happen in Firefox. For an example hover over any link on on either of these two pages http://jasonirla.com/category/news/ or http://notlaura.com/wpfolio-two/read-me/ Thie bug does not seem to effect drop down navigation menus or some (but not all) links in sidebar widget menus.
The bug makes it practically impossible to click the jumping link. I'm not experienced enough to say if this is a browser bug, a OS X bug, a problem with the code in the wordpress them I'm using or what. I am comfortable editing and writing small additions to the theme code using a child theme CSS but in this instance I have no idea where to start or what I'm looking for (to fix). All I know is that this problem did not occur when I was still running 10.8 mountain lion on my mac.
If anyone has any experience with problem like the one I'm experiencing and could offer me some advice I'd really appreciate any help you can offer. I've been searching all over for a week now and haven't been able to find any answers and nothing I've tried seems to make a difference. Thank you for any help or advice you are able to offer.
Can't leave a comment, so I hope this will help you:
Check your font-style on this hover link, is it bold on hover?
Do you use another font-size on hover?
Do you use a iOS compatible font on hover? (using a font that only works on windows systems will be transformed on iOS devices and could cause this bug.
I was contacted by the designer of the WP theme (WPfolio Two), there's a style on 193 of the CSS "display:compact" which is the problem. I put block comments around that line /* display:compact */ and the bug is fixed. Thanks for the initial help #lickmycode – user1544398 just now edit
ran into some issue i have never seen before.
It only happens on chrome, the options of a select element show up garbled when the select box is expanded but show all right when something is selected. You can see the issue in the attached screenshot where the left select shows a selected option right and the second shows the expanded view. Looked online but there is not much to find, as the problem cannot be described easily. Encoding is utf8, firefox shows everything fine...
Any ideas?!

Will try at another computer too, think it does so though from previous testing.
From the looks of it, some issues have been reported with Chromium while using local fonts including Museo and haven't been fixed yet, so you might be dealing with a browser bug as well.
See http://www.arthwine.co.uk.
This used to work fine in Chrome and works fine in all other browsers (afaik). Now, for some reason, Chrome is hiding most of the left column (apart from the bear). If you look on a different browser, there is a panel with the branding and a menu in it under the bear.
I can't figure out at all why it's doing this. Any ideas?
The reason it breaks is because of the bear. Or rather, it is because of the way you relatively positions the image of the bear outside the bounds of every single one of it's parent elements except the body.
This makes chromes rendering engine choke on your layout somehow.
You can test this very easily by just deleting the image of the bear from the source code, and see how everything else suddenly pops into place.
I checked it in Chrome 9.0.597.98 and I had the same problem. The solution that I found, is to add position:absolute; for the #header.
I don't see anything wrong in Chrome. I see the menu and the branding.
Heres the story:
When I load the following page in chrome (verified across 2 computers), it seems like about 1 in 5 refreshes results in display errors.
Often, the background image only loads halfway down the the screen, and the bottom half displays only white (which is weird b/c I have the background set to black under the image.)
There is at least one other incorrect way that it displays which is a less exaggerated version of the other problem.
Since it only happens sometimes and only on chrome (as far as I can tell) and only on one page of the site, I have ignored this issue for more pressing concerns; but I develop in chrome so I am constantly reminded of it.
I have absolutely no clue why this kind of thing would happen and even less of a clue how to remedy it. Any insight anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.
The page
Try to load your page in Safari. If you see same problem, means you missed a bracket or semi column in your css. Webkit browsers seem to handle css errors this way. I had same problem happening to me once. My css file was over 2800 lines. It took some time to find the error. Best.

This fixed the problem for me...
Hello
I have quite a strange problem using quicktabs. I used the framework theme to develop a custom look for my site. I used quicktabs in the center content area to create a tabbed look for placing links within the body. Everything is working fine. However, when I view the site in IE8 at a resolution if 1024*768, I have trouble with a few links. It seems that sometimes the first link under my buttons are difficult to click. The link is there - I can actually click it, but it is very difficult to locate - it only appears at the very beginning of the link text - it is not the first letter, it seems to be only the first pixel.
I looked at the source and everything seems to be correct - I can't figure out what could be wrong.
Has anyone seen any similar behavior that might be able to point me in the right direction for a fix for this?
Thanks for any thoughts.
Edit - I looked further into it and I think it has something to do with my CSS. I disabled css in ie8, and every link is clickable, even the ones that were difficult to locate earlier. I guess there must be an overlapping of containers or something, so I will have to start messing around with those files.
It sounds like a CSS thing, have you inspected the elements in question using the developer tools (press F12) to see whats going on?
I found the solution. In the style.css file for my theme, the .block had position: relative; applied to it. removing that bit of themeing appears to have fixed the link issue.
Thanks
