There are a few potential reasons why links in a dropdown list within a Webflow navbar may be disappearing or unclickable when hovering over them. Here are some common issues and their solutions:

Z-index overlap: Check if there are any overlapping elements or conflicting z-index values that may be causing the links to be hidden. Ensure that the dropdown list has a higher z-index than any other elements that may be overlapping with it.
Visibility settings: Make sure that the dropdown list is set to be visible on hover. In the Webflow Designer, select the dropdown element and navigate to the "Display" section of the style panel. Choose the hover interaction trigger and set the visibility to "Visible."
Interaction conflicts: Check if there are any interactions or animations applied to the dropdown list that may be affecting its visibility or clickability. Review the interactions panel and deactivate any conflicting interactions that may interfere with the links.
Nested elements: If the links within the dropdown list are nested inside other elements, such as divs or containers, make sure those elements are properly styled and not conflicting with the dropdown functionality. Double-check the element hierarchy and ensure that the links are the topmost layer within the dropdown.
Dynamic content: If the dropdown list is populating its content dynamically using a CMS or collections, ensure that the links are properly connected to the CMS items or collection fields. Check the bindings and make sure they are set up correctly.

By addressing these potential issues, you should be able to resolve the problem of links disappearing or being unclickable in a dropdown list within a Webflow navbar.
