I am currently facing an issue with my horizontal Kendo menu, specifically with the spacing of the right-arrow icon next to menu items that have children. Despite trying various methods like adjusting padding-left, margin-left, and experimenting with pseudo-elements like :before and :after, I have not been able to achieve the desired spacing. In fact, using the :after pseudo with content: " " resulted in displaying the literal string " " instead of a space. It seems that users need to click on a menu item with children to reveal the dropdown, as hovering does not trigger any action. This reliance on the arrow icon for indicating submenu items is not ideal, and my temporary solution involves using jQuery to remove the arrows while making the submenu items auto-expand on hover by following guidance from this Stack Overflow thread: How do I make a Kendo Menu open on hover, not on click?. I am seeking advice on how to establish proper spacing between the arrow and the text of menu items, and would greatly appreciate any assistance or insights on this matter.
Here is a snapshot of the current menu:
