    Drop menu flicker error @ 768px - clears @ lower res. (bootstrap)

    .
    The drop-menu error can be seen here.


    Grab the right browser border, and drag it slowly to the left.
    The menu remains a normal menu, until the browser window dimensions hit 768px, when the menu changes to an 'icon activated' drop menu.

    It works, but with a major 'flicker' problem, as the mouse cursor passes over the menu, causing the sub-menus to drop.

    The problem apparently (?) arises from the menu being @ hard right.

    As the browser window is dragged further to the left, @ about 740px...... the menu moves central...... and then functions without a glitch.
    (when downloaded the same behaviour exists).

    With the code in my own website, this problem occurs until 640px is met.

    Note:
    I did notice that 'body display changes' seemed to be occurring outside of my style.css.
    I dealt with this, using @media(max-width:XXXpx), countering whatever I presumed to be hardcoded into bootstrap.css.

    I figured that, logically, my nav-bar code (below 640px) needed moving from 640 to 768px.

    However, when this was done........ the drop menu remained at the right (glitching) at all resolutions, so I returned the code back to @media(max-width:640px).

    Template
    Clearly the template itself has faults....... fine...... it causes one to learn.
    However, I am simply failing to get a handle on the fundamentals.

    All the general body blocks, I was able to re-configure.
    But so far, not the nav bar.

    I checked out bootstrap, but there are just too many instances to grasp.

    I really could do with some help.
    I need to get the 'mobile menu' to activate correctly (centrally) @ 640px (without prior change).
    OR
    .... for it to activate correctly at 768px.

    I'm stumped.
    I'm sure that it's just lack of knowledge.
    Hopefully a fellow forum member can bring me up to speed in this area
    (it's my first attempt at responsive coding).

    Problem apparently solved!

    This may not be ideal, or it may be ideal.
    I simply modified the css code grouping @media(max-width:640px)
    to
    @media(max-width:768px)

    So it created two groups of
    @media(max-width:768px).

    I still haven't gained a full grasp of these elements, but....... the drop menu now displays correctly.
