Drop down menu gets cut off because of max-width of a parent

[admin]

I've integrated the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jquery-mega-menu/" rel="nofollow">Mega Menu Plugin</a> into the Wordpress site I'm working on. The last menu item gets truncated, because the main container has

max-width

set. I want the last item to overflow while still keeping the same

max-width

. I've tried setting

overflow-x

and

z-index

on menu

ul

,

li

and main

div

container, but to no avail.

<b>EDIT</b>: the parent of the menu had

overlow: hidden

. Setting it to

overflow: inherit

fixed the problem.
