i was going to point you to a post in the old forum that had the answer, but i see yadin has deleted it.

I'll hunt about for the code i added to fix this problem.
It involves adding an if statement and extra variables to one of the menus functions.

I'll post up the code as soon as i find where i put it.

ok, this is for version 3.2.5 - NOT the 3.3 beta version (although it probably will still work)

in the mmenu.js file in the function dmenu(mnu){ ..about line 325-330ish
add the following code:

if(ns4){ ...
change the line mt="...." to
mt="<layer z-index=90 visibility=hidden bgcolor=#" bgc " id=" mnu " top=" (menu[1] XX) " width=" thw " left=" (menu[2] YY) ">"
where the XX and YY are the pixel numbers you want to shift by (8 and 3 are usually ok).

then in the next part:

else{ iedf=""; ......
change the line mt "...." to
if (!document.all||ns6||opera){
mt="<div id=" mnu " style=\"" iedf ";z-index:90;visibility:hidden;" brd "position:absolute;background-Color:#" hlp[4] ";width:" (menu[3] ns6w) "px;left:" (menu[2] YY) "px;top:" (menu[1] XX) "px;\">"}
else{
mt="<div id=" mnu " style=\"" iedf ";z-index:90;visibility:hidden;" brd "position:absolute;background-Color:#" hlp[4] ";width:" (menu[3] ns6w) "px;left:" menu[2] "px;top:" menu[1] "px;\">"}

again where XX and YY are the pixel amount you want to shift the menu by, 8 and 3 again for example)

Hope you understand and hope this helps.
