When viewing a story with embedded video in Feed mode, the menu is hidden behind the video. The same is true for the email sharing interface. I’m on OS 10.7.3, and it happens on Chrome 18+, but not Firefox or Safari. I don’t have any extensions on Chrome which should be affecting this … just a password saver and two bookmarking extensions. Screenshots attached:

Just to be sure, I disabled all extensions and tested again – same behavior as described above. It also happens if I open the story’s menu from the story title list. Weird!

It’s a Chrome 18+ z-index bug and it needs to get fixed. There is very little I can do about it. See this thread for the same bug: [http://getsatisfaction.com/newsblur/t…](http://getsatisfaction.com/newsblur/topics/cosmetic_problem_when_adding_feed_in_folders)

Ah! Okay, thanks for the heads up 🙂
