    I have the Modern Studio Pro theme.

    This can only be seen in Chrome or Safari. It looks normal in Firefox. I haven't checked IE yet.

    When viewed in Chrome or Safari, my primary navigation bar (the one to the left of the logo, .nav-primary,) has an extra interior color that shows. This doesn't happen in the secondary navigation bar (to the right of the logo, .nav-secondary).

    I'm not sure where this is coming from. Attached is a screenshot.

    It looks like it might be coming from ::selection at line 187 in style.css.

    But don't selections only show up when you actually select them?

    In both Chrome and Safari, I removed the selection with the inspect element tool and the additional color band went away. These two browsers use a different rendering engine than the other browsers. They work differently.

    I just tried it in real life; removing those didn't do anything. What's weird about that extra band (and about "News & Advice" wrapping on to two lines) is that in Chrome and Safari it happens when the page first loads, and then they go away when you move your cursor around.

    I thought the problem might have been caused by trying to make the navigation bar full width, but after I returned the bar to 100%, the problem still persists. (Did you see my reply to my other post about the nav bar, saying that it was running off the right side of the page?)

    I'm wondering if there are some problems because some genesis code gets repeated by my theme under @media only screen and (min-width: 930px) (this is where my theme puts most of its special formatting.)

    I just used Safari's responsive design view, and it clearly shows a problem with the views for Safari, Chrome and IE. This screenshot is for the IE view. I just can't find any code that is specifically targeting either sidebar!

    Okay, fixed! The problem was caused by the padding I had added to the navigation menu items. That wasn't a smart thing to do; I should have increased the size of the menu area, not the padding around the items. I was probably fooling around and forgot to change it back.
