Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.There is a layout issue for menus/blocks in the left sidebar. (Refer to screen image attachments.)
Using Firebug to analyse blocks, you can see that for the primary links menu block ul element contains only 3 of the menu items (refer image 1) while others fall outside.
As a result of this, subsequent blocks' boxes in the left sidebar are actually positioned beginning inside the Primary Links menu (see image 2).
Although this doesn't look wrong by default (as the content of other blocks actually appear after the menu), if you wanted to put a CSS border around blocks in the sidebar (quite common) the border of the block following the menu will cut through the menu (for example, image 3 is such a block positioned away from the Primary Links menu, but image 4 is the block when placed directly after the Primary Links menu showing the border cutting through the menu).
Blocks following after the Primary Links menu block should fully clear the Primary Links menu block.
Many thanks.

nickbits commentedHi,
You said:
If you look at the attached screenshot, you will see that is not true, it prints all items correctly in the code.
I will take a look at the positioning issue tonight and see if I can resolve it.

nickbits commentedHi,
A slight bug in the CSS was causing this. IT has now been corrected and is in the CVS. A dev release has been created, will do a general release once all other issues are resolved.

authentictech commentedThanks, that has corrected it.
I did mean to refer to containment within the layout rather than within HTML code but thanks for working out what I meant anyway. :-)
