I've been having small issues with Chrome for quite some time now, and although I have discovered several Stackoverflow threads with similar issues I simply cannot find a fix.
The issues are as follows:
Certain elements borders appear as 1px (when in reality they should be 2px) and only fix themselves if I zoom in and out of the page, or Ctrl+A highlighting everything.
Other elements move slightly (either the element as a whole, or the text within them) when I hover over it.
Text also fails to appear sometimes and only reappears if I hover over a nearby element.
The issues are specific to Chrome, and I understand opacity (something used widely throughout my project) can be an issue with the browser. I found several threads that cited transforming, positioning relatively etc as solutions but I have had absolutely no luck. Sometimes when I load the page these issues don't exist and the elements appear normal (minus the text disappearing, that's pretty much a constant).
I've attached a video so you can see the issues first hand, but I am unsure what code I should attach. If there's a specific elements code you would find helpful to see I will happily upload it here. I can also send page files if that helps, but I'm not sure if it fits within the rules here.
Anyway, here's the video: http://sendvid.com/uvq3gpzo
Apologies for being so vague, as I know that's not particularly appreciated around here. I just have no idea where the issue lies and thought someone may have had something previous beforehand.
Thanks for taking the time to look into my problem and any help would be much appreciated.

I made the following website (http://abrradesignstudio.com/) using a HTML builder template.
Looking at the categories (All, Brochures, Resumes.... etc.) I see that they are somehow aligned to the left. Maybe they are centered, but if the row is not sufficient, it makes a new one, leaving the first one with too much space to the right (making it look left aligned).
How can I avoid that and make them really centered?
Is there a fast way to make all other images disappear (instead of dim/gray-out in the background) when selecting a certain category?
Another question: My contact form is not working. I saw on a similar website that they use https://formspree.io/.
I did the same, but I still get an error submitting. My code is 1:1 with the other one (that works), just the e-mail is different.
If you know very little about HTML or CSS it may be best to read up some blogs and tutorials on CSS (there are many, many out on the net) .
The Solution
In .filters li (line 4542 in theme-nearblack.css) turn off float:left; and your display will show as you want.
floats do just that, they float outside of the flow of the document so it's much more tedious to try and centre them. As the parent element to this li is already floated there isn't much point floating the contents as well.
Stack Overflow Questions
Please when asking questions can you paste a minimum working version of your code which displays your problem, rather than links to external websites which will change. Posting code blocks into your question means whenever someone in the future reads your question they can see exactly the issues you are having (and how they are solved).
Please Take the Tour.
If my solution works for you can you mark up and tick, thanks.
As a quick intro, I'm not sure what the best way to phrase/tag/etc this question is, especially as it's so not really reproducible so I would appreciate any input from the stackoverflow community.
On a couple of different WordPress websites I help manage, I occasionally see HTML link elements overflow their normal inline position - the link text overlaps any text after it, almost like the link is absolutely positioned. However, the links are statically positioned and inline as normal.
The big problem with this is that it's not consistent and I've not been able to reproduce the problem. This makes debugging and tracking very difficult. I work mostly in Chrome on Windows 7/10 but I have had reports from clients seeing it in IE and occasionally in Firefox (all on Windows I believe).
In addition, when I have been able to use the Chrome developer tools to debug this, the problem resolves itself if the browser window is resized or if almost any link css properties are changed. It's as if the browser draws the page wrong the first time and when it's forced to redraw the elements, it does it right the second time.
Is anyone else seeing this problem? Does anyone have any ideas what would be causing this and why it would be so inconsistent?
I've not been able to get a screengrab of the issue happening as it's not possible to replicate but I may update this question if I manage to capture it happening any time soon.
I am having an extremely odd issue creating a template for my zencart ecommerce website.
I find that many times I load the website my menu will break up and split over two lines as shown below.
The reason I find this behavior odd is that if I refresh the page it correctly displays.
Now I could understand how to fix this if it was consistently one way or the other but it seems to vary between the two with no obvious difference in the code... I am not sure if this is some sort of technical bug with chrome as I haven't been able to replicate it in other browsers however even if it is I really need a way of working around it. So I am curious as to whether anyone has had this issue before and if so how they got around it.

If you add
white-space:nowrap;
To the div that contains the list it should prevent this, not sure why it's happening though.
Edit: here is a jsfiddle showing the technique http://jsfiddle.net/RM4S2/
Edit: No floats http://jsfiddle.net/BsGfu/2/
This is a really strange problem, and I was able to recreate the quirkiness in Chrome. While I don't know the direct cause of the issue, I think I found one way that works.
If you set the width of the second div within 'navEZpagesTop' that you are floating right that is wrapping,to 'width:485px;'. This seems to give the section room and does not wrap. If you want to leave more room for this expand without modifying the css you could set it to a much larger size, and float all the links inside of this to the right(instead of the left).
I've recently been developing a micro-site that uses some of the newer 3D effects transforms in CSS3. However, I've been trying to get a little too tricky with layering so that certain optical illusions take effect and it's been the cause of numerous headaches...
In general, there's this issue in Chrome (but not Firefox, haven't yet tried Safari or IE) where everything seems to "render" appropriately onscreen, but when I go to click a link or highlight some text in one of the more "tricky-layered" areas, my cursor goes limp and I'm unable to get any functionality. I can see everything just fine, it's just there's an invisible wall preventing my cursor from interacting, if that helps the explanation.
Without pasting a mile-long piece of experimental code, does anyone know off the top of their head what might be causing this issue? My best guess is that the z-index inheritance has gone awry at some point but it's difficult to diagnose... leading to my next question of whether or not anyone knows of any good strategies for layering diagnostics (tools would be great here as well)!
I'm of course well-versed in the standard Developer Tools/Firebug...
Thanks guys!
Okay, so I solved my problem and came up with the following strategy for future reference in diagnosing layering issues...
Check discreet Z-Index values of all elements that may be interfering with one another. Re-order them if necessary and see if that solves the problem. If not, move on.
Check discreet positioning on all elements from step 1. Make sure they are declared to either have "position: absolute" or "position: relative" in CSS markup. DO NOT RELY ON INHERITANCE/DEFAULTS. ABSOLUTE DECLARATION IS KEY.
Check your "backface-visibility" values. If your setup is complex, it's easy to lose track of what's what.
Following that pattern is what finally did it for me. My problems turned out to be a combination of all 3 but they didn't necessarily reveal themselves to me until I followed the steps above.
I'm having some CSS issues that seem to only occur in chrome. The site in question is liveinthelead.com, and it's still being worked on so if you notice any other strange problems feel free to let me know, I won't be offended. My main problem is this though:
In all of the browsers I've tested except for chrome the site looks fine. However, in chrome, on the main page, the middle post in the three-post divs are shifted down about 20px. But when I open up the developer interface, they shift back to where they're supposed to be! Maybe it's just a local problem, but here are some pictures of what I'm talking about. If you don't experience the same issue then maybe it's just something weird going on with my computer. Cheers.
When I initially load the page
After I open the developer console
One thing that I noticed is that in your div#three-post you set float:left to div.member1 but not to the remaining div.member2 or div.member3.
That's where I would start investigating the problem. Maybe you should set the remaining two divs to also float left. You may need to clear them afterwards too.
For the sake of convention — and so that you don't encounter this confusions again — use IDs for selecting specific elements, e.g., member1, member2, member3, and use classes for selecting multiple elements that should share the same attributes.
I'm unable to replicate on Chrome 15.
=\ could be a good thing! Try another computer!
