Drop down menu with Navigation Line

Site URL: https://bobcat-wolf-gcel.squarespace.com/

Hi all,

I used the Stretchy Navigation Line plugin from Ghost Plugins (link here) and I'm loving the effect, but it is, unfortunately, being covered up by the drop-down menu when it's activated. I'm wondering if anyone could help me fix this so that the line doesn't disappear when the drop-down menu appears?

Background: I tried moving the drop-down folder down using CSS so that the line stays visible, but this caused its own problems: because the drop-down menu was no longer connected to the menu item above it, the menu unselects and disappears when you go to move your mouse down to the menu items.

I think we can move the folder down a little bit with margin style. Currently, the folder is on the line so the line will be hidden when the folder appear.

My testing

@bangank36That did it, thank you!  I initially used padding instead of margin to try to get the same effect but margin didn't cause the de-select problem I was having, so this is great.  Thanks again!

Hi @bangank36 - Thank you again for your help with this!  I wanted to see if you could help me with one other thing that this impacted.  

It turns out that this code also moved the actual Squarespace "Save" button down as well.  This has the unintended consequences of making it difficult to save website changes as the mouse "loses" the button and the button disappears.  I'm wondering what you might do in this case?  Maybe there is another workaround?

Sorry to bother and thank you again!
