#20367: Twenty Eleven + Category list widget broken in new Chrome

--------------------------+-----------------------------
 On a standard Twenty Eleven theme, I have set it up to have the content on
 the left and the sidebar on the right side. The following widgets are
 activated in the main sidebar in the following order:

 1. Custom menu
 2. Tag cloud
 3. Categories
 4. NextGen slideshow

 The problem is that once I insert the categories widget, the page
 functionality brakes in new versions of Chrome. The #primary div covers
 the #secondary div (as normal). The problem is that until #primary covers
 #secondary (vertically), the <a> links stops working in #secondary. By
 right clicking / inspect element anywhere on #secondary, the inspector
 opens up #primary.

 The only way I could fix it was to manually reduce the width of the
 primary div to 700px. I had to insert these two CSS rules to my style.css
 (using a child theme for minimalist style changes, mostly colors).

 #primary {
 width: 700px;
 margin: 0;
 }

 #content {
 width: 650px;
 }

 note, that on the above site, I had to apply the last two fixes because
 it's a live site. To see the bug just untick the above two CSS rules in
 the inspector.

 I believe that this bug is affecting all Twenty Eleven installations, with
 the newer versions of Chrome. It's a mystery why only the activated widget
 combination triggers the bug, but it needs a fix.
