This occurs only with the use of a mouse, but does not if you use the cursor keys to navigate. When you mouseover a menu appearing in two layers (because it wraps due to screen width), and the drop down appears for a particular menu item, and if you then attempt to move the mouse down the screen to select one of the items in the drop down, instead the underlying menu is then selected and you cannot get to the item desired. This appears to be caused by the dropdown not properly overlaying the menus on the 2nd level and the mouse focus getting shifted.

I am using a custom ported theme based on the free Rambling Soul theme ported from WordPress. This only happens with IE 7 not with Firefox.

Does this also happen in the core themes (like garland and bluemarine)?

Can't tell, as those themes are not "floating" and don't readjust screen width to accommodate the viewer's monitor. Our theme is a "floating" theme. The garland theme breaks on our site due to unrelated CSS issues which is why we abandoned it for a more compatible IE6/IE7/Firefox theme. Nice menus actually works far better in our theme than it does in Garland excepting this one issue.

Is it possible for you to zip up the theme and attach it so I can play with it? I don't have any handy Drupal themes that float.

I don't want to post it openly here as it is our custom theme, however if you contact me off list with a suitable e-mail address I will be happy to send the theme to you in a zip format.
