In desktop mode, every time I hover over an option (i.e. shirts) I try to hover over the drop down and it disappears… I have no idea why as it was working perfectly not too long ago. is this a bug or a setting issue?
That is due to the fact that between the dropdown button on which you hover and the list there is a space. As soon as you hover your mouse over that space you lose hover status of the dropdown.
In order to fix that you should:
Add bottom-padding for dropdown toggle (you can also either remove
the 6px padding on right or add same on left to even the width)
