Bootstrap v3 navbar with justified width is not truly uniform

Citing from http://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/bootstrap_ref_comp_navs.asp

.nav-justified Ensures that navigation tabs/pills have equal widths of their parent at screens wider than 768px. However, on smaller screens, the nav tabs/pills are stacked.

I believe that each <li> element within the nav-justified <ul> should have uniform width. Nonetheless, it appears that in this particular example: http://www.bootply.com/0pEQ2iml8q# (using Chrome 46), the pill widths expand to fit the text inside.

It appears that the pills are displaying with varying widths and don't seem to be justified.

What might I be overlooking in this scenario?

Answer №1

It's been 366 days since I last encountered a similar issue. This time, it was with the pictures inside the nav-pills - the end pill was smaller in both height and width compared to the other two pills included.

I also observed that the text was the reason behind the last pill's size discrepancy. However, the longest text was in the first pill, which puzzled me as it was the perfect size (probably due to the pills being formatted inside rows and columns).

I was able to resolve the issue by following the solution provided in this question: Same height for nav tabs

However, it's important to note that this solution removes the 'stacking' functionality of the pills when resized down to xs. To overcome this, you can add the following CSS to a Media Query:

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
.nav-pills {
    display: flex;
}
.nav-pills li {
    display: flex;
    flex: 1;
}

.nav-pills li a {
    flex: 1;
}
}
