In drop-down menus, links don't extend across menu and items peek through

In drop down menus (e.g., "display," "add," "state"), if you position the mouse cursor over an item but in a typical position to the right of the text, the item is not highlighted and you cannot click it to activate the link. (If you try hard enough, you can position the cursor very precisely to highlight the item, but usulaly not)

Furthermore, if there is a clickable item beneath the drop-down menu, it shows through: for instance, the "History +/-" item, or the action items ("send to", "print", "full screen mode") which peek from underneath the "state" drop-down menu.
