Failing to thrive is like a child shadowing its parent

Could you please provide some ideas on how I can make the first button (Sections) on the left overlap with the navigation bar in this specific scenario? The current issue is that the extreme left part of the button is not fully visible.

I attempted to use the Z index property but it seems ineffective due to the parent-child relationship. Do you have any alternative suggestions for achieving the desired outcome?

If you have any tips or recommendations, they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

In order to fix the issue, it is recommended to eliminate the overflow: hidden; property from the parent element (ul).

To ensure that all content in your list is visible, you must adjust the overflow property of the ul element to be set as visible. Take a look at this fiddle

ul {
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    overflow: visible; // <-- Make sure this line reflects the change
    position: fixed;
    top: 0;
    width: 80%;
}

.buttonleft{    
    margin: 10px;
    padding: 8px 10px;
    background-color: white;
    border: 1px solid #4D7B9F;
    border-radius: 3px;
    color: black;
    font-weight: bold;
    position:relative;
    right:20%;
    overflow: visible;    
}
