Ukraine began its involvement in the Iraq War on 5 June 2003, shortly after the 2003 invasion of Iraq. As part of the Multi-National Force – Iraq, they engaged in combat with Iraqi insurgents. On 9 December 2008, Ukraine formally withdrew its last forces from Iraq, ending its participation in the Iraq War. Prior to the Russo-Ukrainian War, Ukraine’s involvement in the Iraq War was the largest military operation ever performed by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Over 6,000 Ukrainians performed military service in Iraq and Kuwait during the war, including a permanent presence of 1,600, with more than 40 Ukrainians wounded and 18 killed in action.

So I have seen this for awhile and had not mentioned something before partially because its not a game stopper and so many things are going on with piefed dev I hated to bother. I kinda expected other people would be seeing it and it would likely get attention and maybe it has but I just have not seen it. Anyway I attached a screenshot showing how the dropdown menus get obscured by the site and its not just obscured because the site under the dropdown seems to have interaction priority. The funny thing is when I click on images and get the larger version like sometimes something like this happens and at other times the pop up image will correctly be in front of everything. Im not sure if its the type of image or what but the effect does not always happen with pop up image. It basically always happens with the drop downs though. I changed to default theme and some other themes and this issue consistantly happens.
