Creating custom SharePoint 2013 templates could possibly render the page ribbon incorrectly.
Why????
Custom styling can have a tendency to interfere with the default SharePoint 2013 styling...particularly the ribbon. Box sizing has a lot to do with how dropdown lists and images are displayed in the ribbon.
Box-sizing allows us to specify how we want the browser to calculate the CSS box model.
In particular, should the “width” of a box or container include padding and the border, or is the width just what is inside of the padding?
Content-box means that the specified width and height do not include margins, borders, or padding.
Border-box, on the other hand is similar to how Internet Explorer determines width and height when a document is rendered in Quirks mode
...meaning the width and height include the border and padding, but not the margin.
The following CSS can help you with your ribbon displaying properly after using custom SharePoint design in your templates:
*, *:before, *:after {
-webkit-box-sizing: content-box; /*border-box causes many issues with SP*/
-moz-box-sizing: content-box; /*border-box causes many issues with SP*/
box-sizing: content-box; /*border-box causes many issues with SP*/
}
* [class^="span"], * [class^="span"]:before, , * [class^="span"]:after {
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box; /*re-enable border-box for framework spans*/
-moz-box-sizing: border-box; /*re-enable border-box for framework spans*/
box-sizing: border-box; /*re-enable border-box for framework spans*/
}
img {
max-width: none;
width: auto;
}
* [class^="span"] img {
max-width: 100%; /*for images inside span grid*/
}
#scriptWPQ2 img, img.ms-webpart-menuArrowImg, #applist img {
/*within a span may still need to have width of image not 100% for SP2013 OOTB features/imges*/
width: auto;
max-width: none;
}
.ms-siteactions-imgspan {
float: none;
margin: 0px;
}
/*Custom Styles to Fix Ribbon Layout Issues*/
#s4-ribbonrow [class*="span"] {

}
input.ms-cui-cb-input {
height: 21px; /*14 was from first try*/
padding: 3px 7px 2px;
}
@media (min-width: 1200px) {
header > .container-fluid, nav#topnav > .container-fluid, footer > .container-fluid,
.footer-bottom > .container-fluid {
max-width: 1160px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
#main {
max-width: 1200px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
}
/*Fix Absolutely Positioned divs in a Grid Framework*/
header > .container-fluid {

}
header .searchbox {

position: relative;
float: right;
