Hi, Bob, I'm going to copy to the group, since you've already been SUCH a huge help and I hate to impose.
I've got the text aligned-right, but as you say, it needs a little padding on the right so that the characters are not on the border. Normally this is pretty easy to do. You experiment with adjusting padding and li widths and do a little math and with some trial and error, it all works out. I've tried everything I can think of in this and I can't create any space to the right of the text in the menu at any level. Nor can I figure out why the hover is 2-3 pixels wider than the main block on the right of the flyout levels. I've made dozens of changes and nothing I've tried moves the text on both normal and hover states without also throwing off the width of the menu and the white border at the bottom of each item.
