When the navigation menu text jumps below the icon when visiting a page from the dropdown menu in Webflow, there are a few possible causes to consider. Here are some potential reasons and solutions:

Padding or margin issues: The text may be jumping due to padding or margin conflicts. Check the padding and margin settings for both the icon and the text elements in your navigation menu. Make sure there is enough space between the icon and the text to accommodate the dropdown menu.
Overflow issues: The text may be wrapping below the icon if the container holding the navigation menu has a fixed width and the combined width of the icon and text exceeds that width. To resolve this, consider increasing the width of the navigation menu container or reducing the width of the icon or text elements.
Responsive design issues: If the issue only occurs on certain device sizes, it could be due to responsive design settings. Double-check the responsive breakpoints in your Webflow project and ensure that the CSS rules for the navigation menu elements are properly adjusted for each breakpoint.
Float or clear settings: The text may jump below the icon if there are float or clear settings conflicting with the layout. Check the float and clear properties for both the icon and text elements, ensuring they are properly aligned and not conflicting with each other.
CSS conflicts: It's possible that there may be CSS conflicts or overrides affecting the layout of the navigation menu. Inspect the CSS styles of the relevant elements using your browser's developer tools, and make sure there are no conflicting or overriding CSS rules affecting the positioning of the icon and text.

In general, when troubleshooting this issue, it can be helpful to inspect the HTML structure and CSS properties of the navigation menu components using the Webflow Designer or browser's developer tools. By isolating the specific elements causing the issue and understanding their properties, you can make adjustments to resolve the problem.
