Bootstrap fixed sidebar - html

Question

I'm currently experimenting with Twitter Bootstrap but I have a problem with my fixed sidebar.
When you hover over a menu item on the left, you can see that the menu doesn't stop where the content area starts. I don't really know how to explain it properly so I hope this is clear enough.
I'd like to know if there's a solution for this.

Answer 1

Replace CSS as below
#sidebar .nav {
width: 95%;
position: fixed;
}
to
#sidebar .nav {
width: 10%; // change width as your choice
position: fixed;
}
you have select width of sidebar 95% of browser window.
