WordPress dashboard menu hover error fix

I've had this annoying problem where the WordPress dashboard items start floating off in random directions when hovering over them, for the past week. I thought it was a problem with WordPress that would quickly get resolved with an update. Turns out this error is actually caused by Google Chrome, and it's pretty easy to fix.

You can find the instructions to fix this problem in this article from WPtavern: http://wptavern.com/a-bug-in-chrome-45-causes-word...

Hope that helps everyone having this same problem!

PS: You can even see this error in action even in the last WAbinar (at 58:09) https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/training/wa-live-n...

I find myself using IE when something doesn't work in Chrome, actually happens a couple of times every month. I've found Internet Explorer to be more robust than Chrome, but less user-friendly. Even some of Google's own services work better in IE (Adwords for video in YT doesn't work for me in chrome).
