Question about parent elements

Hi everyone,

I have two similar elements behaving differently and I’m looking for the reason.

The icon in this dropdown menu is set to absolute positioning. The crosshair in the position dialog tells me it’s relative to the div it’s nested in. This is how I’d like it to be in example #2, but…

This icon is nested in a link block called “nav_link_big” yet setting it to absolute positioning results in it being relative to the element on the very to of the stack called “navbar”.

Here’s the overview:

Why is that exactly?

can you share your public link please?
