A change to user menu styling makes the prototip user menu break

[Dan Coutu]

I find that if I change the styling, and in particular the font size or line height of the second_navlist (where I have the user-menu) then the user menu shows up nicely upon a hover action but cannot be used because a mouseout from the hover apparently doesn't cross into the user menu any more. A search of the code seems to indicate that the logic for the sizing and position of the user menu is within the prototip-min.js file. The code is there is pretty obscure and being minified makes it even harder to follow.

Is there a straightforward way to change the javascript so that I can get the user menu working again with my changed styling? So far it seems that my only choice is to change the css id value of the user-menu and setup my own prototip code to handle things. If that's the proper way to handle things then I will but I prefer to make minimal changes whenever possible so that updates to community engine will be less likely to break my code.

This has frustrated me for a while too, Dan.  I was hoping to find a solution here.

I did finally solve it. I'm going back through my style sheet adjustments and believe that this is the one that did the trick:

#user-menu:hover #user-menu-tip {
    top: 14px;
}

Where of course you adjust the value of top to be what you need.

So this would go into your local styles.css.erb file in app/assets/stylesheets

Hope this helps,

Dan
