Hey GlitchGuru, have you ever noticed how a single pixel off in a dropdown can trigger an entire cascade of rendering bugs? Let’s dissect one.

Yeah, that one pixel is a classic. It’s like the single misaligned anchor that shifts the entire box model, causing the dropdown to overdraw. We’ll need to check the margin collapse, the overflow, maybe the transform origin. Let’s dive in.

I’m already hunting that pixel—once I see where it’s off, the whole dropdown will settle itself. Just send me the screenshot, and I’ll annotate the exact spot that’s breaking the flow.

Sorry, I don’t have a screenshot to hand, but the culprit is usually right where the padding and border meet the parent’s content box—check the top-left corner of the `<select>` wrapper for a 1‑px shift. That’s usually the sweet spot to fix the cascade.
