We took our new template live yesterday (built on xTreme + xMenus) - and we are most satisfied -- but there is one very annoying problem that I am not able to workaround on my own and I'd appreciate any solutions from the community or TXS:

My test suite consists of:

Mac - safari, firefox, chrome (all latest versions)
WindowsXP - IE8, chrome, firefox (all latest versions)

unfortunately, I do not have a Win7 or Win8 computer here to test with. I should just buy a Win8 upgrade.

With that said, I have been testing my new template w xMenus - and it looks very consistent on all browsers/all platforms EXCEPT WinXP Chrome

The css that we edited above to tighten up the spacing of the top menu:

.xm-menu.xm-horizontal.xm-vertical-blinds li.xm-top > a {
height: 31px;
line-height: 31px;
padding: 0 19px;
/* padding WAS 23px but needs to be 19px for WinXP Chrome */
}

I had it set to padding: 0 23px; -- and this looked PERFECT in all browsers EXCEPT for Chrome in WinXP SP3. In WInXP Chrome, if set to 23px, the last menu item wrapped around to the next line and placed the last menu item all by itself in line 2. This is not desired!

If set to 23px, all items appear very well spaced on all other browsers (but broken in WinXP Chrome). If set to 19px, WinXP Chrome is now fixed, but the spacing between top menu items is tighter than I want to be on all other browsers/OS

Any ideas why this is?

I also tested on a WinXP partition that is on my macbook pro -- identical results. (saying that I tested on a generic Dell PC about 4 years old, then tested on a VirtualBox partition). Identical results. WinXP Chrome simply renders different for this css class??? Yikes???

I have noticed other slight differences in other spacing across browsers -- and I know it can never be perfect, but this is a major one since it busts the entire page.

1. Has anyone else seen this?
2. What's the workaround?

Thanks,
J

We have confirmed this issue exists in Chrome in WIn7 as well as Chrome in WInXP
