I solved the problem by adding a z-index to the .submenu-wrap class in my skin file - (this could probably do with doing higher up in the portal or menu files, because the problem will reoccur on a skin change, but the problem is fixed for now.)

also the z-index had to be at least 1000 for the fix to work.

 Sorry overlooked this one and that worked for me tnxs a lot
