Level 2 overlapping Level 1?

Level 2 overlapping Level 1?

For some reason our Level 2 menu options are overlapping our Level 1 menu options:
http://www.ledwarehouseuk.com/indexHOME.php

If we add a left margin of 30px to the Level 2 menu it displays nicely in the CSSMenuWriter preview pane but when viewed on the live site Level 2 disappears altogether.

EDIT: I've got Level 2 appearing now, with a 30px left margin applied but, as you'll see, the two levels are still overlapping.

Any idea what's going on?
Thank you.

in CSSMenuWriter/cssmw/menu.css edit the left attribute for the level 2 UL
ul#cssmw ul.level-2 {
left: 140px;
}

Can I do this through the CSS Menu Writer wizard or is this a bug and I have to hand code it?

When I hand code it, the value was 114px in there previously, to:
ul#cssmw ul.level-2 {
left: 140px;
}

...it doesn't resolve the overlapping.

Urrgh...the client has decided they don't want the sub-sub-menu so it doesn't matter for this particular site but, in general, why would this have been happening?

This also plagued my older CSS MenuWriter extension on DW8.0.2 whereby we'd end up having to cheat the level with minus figures, or margins that just didn't make sense (to us anyway).

Hoping this can be ironed out. Thank you.

This usually happens when you change widths of the menus, in some cases, the margins wont be properly updated.

This happened straight out of the wizard Jason.

As soon as I added a Level 2 option it was indented by, apparently, 30px. I say apparently because I added a left margin of 30px and it displayed correctly - but only in the preview screen within the CSSMenuWriter properties box. Once tested on site, the overlap remained.

Weird.

I have not been able to reproduced the problem. I will keep an eye out for it though and try to find the trigger.

once we can find the use case that triggers it, we can have it corrected.
