      Everybody that sees this on firefox, hit F5 (forget the cache, request the page again) on the page that you see it. It's simply a cache issue.

      Pressing F5 makes no difference.

          I tested it and it did work on my systems.

            Cleared my cache and tried F5, still overlapping menue.
            I'm on FF 31 and Win7.
            But then I changed my default font size inside FF from Tahoma 16 to 14 and it works again !

              Just posting my experience. Tried it on 2 different pfsense systems, worked on both. YMMV.

                Just updated to Pfsense 2.1.5 and I'm having the same issue with the HELP menu being too close to the SYSTEM menu (Overlapping) on Firefox and Chromium Ubuntu 12.04. Its really hard to Access anything in the SYSTEM menu I cant even logout.

                After trying various fixes (F5, clear cache,etc)  i realize it seems to be a Linux issue (i'm a fulltime Linux user)  because after clearing the cache on my windows system the HELP menu moved to the far right. (see attachments)

                Changing themes dont seem to work for me, only the "Pfsense" theme works and it sucks (i hate the layout on the left) i rather the drop down menus in the "Code-Red" theme.

                Everything else seems to be working great so far, thanks for the great work you guys put into Pfsense hope you guys
                can fix this in the near future.

                  This has been covered so many times now in several threads across many sub-forums.

                  Either clear your cache, reload with Ctrl-F5, decrease your font or install the widescreen patch:

                      How many hours got lost by this bug? Wouldn't it be easier to remove a "feature" nobody needs at that time (Gold button), until there is a solution not annoying a significant fraction of users?

                      Just a suggestion for improving corporate processes to meet user expectations…

                        I'm not going to whine too loudly because I'm sure the Devs are already working a fix.

                          I'm just glad that I no longer install pfSense updates immediately, and instead I wait until they have had at least a week or two to let the early-adopters and enthusiasts shake out the problems before I even think about putting it into production.

                            …same with me, I wait at least some days or try it on a back-up system first. The last 2-3 updates I did complete fresh installs on all systems running, as nano had its very special problems (wrong images, snort) in addition...

                              To those that were having issues, if you want to try the newest snapshot at https://snapshots.pfsense.org, I committed a fix for the top nav wrap.

                                I didn't have any problems anymore after an F5 (Firefox).

                                  Is anyone having issues with OpenVPN clients "Unable to contact daemon"? If I  restart it seems to go away for a few hours but then it happens again. The weird thing is that I believe all the traffic is still being directed through the vpn clients…

                                    Yep, normally tunnel stays fully functional. Reboot resolves it, but may pop up again. No idea why…

                                      I've only seen this when running it as a VM myself.  Quite annoying and consistently reoccurs but only on my virtualized instances of pfsense.

                                        Well I am happy to hear that I am not the only one but I agree that it is quite annoying. I am running bare metal so would seem to be something in the 2.1.5 release.

                                          It started a couple updates back for me.  It has had no impact on performance so I ignore it.

                                            I have come to find that this does affect rules and port forwarding. I have a few website setup to use the my local ISP and not the VPN, however, when the VPN shows the arrow down, the website rules get messed up and for some reason is trying to send the traffic through the VPN (when the VPN is up then the rules function normally??) Also I have a script that checks to make sure my VPN's port is being forwarded correctly and if it detects that the VPN port has been closed it restarts the VPN to find a new open port. When the VPN is up then it functions as it should. When the VPN is down it thinks that the port is open when in fact the port is closed.

                                            Has anyone found a solution to fix this issue? It is really starting to be a nuisance.
