This is unfortunately an example of the kinds of zoom bugs that will be extremely difficult for us to fix without improving our rounding strategy. Because we floor the width of every single item in Apple's nav menu, the pixel errors accumulate. The search menu container is absolutely positioned locked to the right edge (using right:0), and so the fact that all the floating left items are a little bit smaller causes there to be some extra space left over.

This is difficult because we don't have any subpixel accuracy at the rendering level. The CSS back end does the rounding, so by the time you get to the front end, it's impossible to have a coherent rounding strategy.

The search box renders differently in Safari 17.4.1.
