This is an issue with certain fonts on windows, specifically Verdana, from my experience. I spent about three days looking for float bugs and such to solve this, three years ago. It occurs mainly with the capital 'w' character, but can also be a problem with 'v' too, and only with cleartype disabled.

The best solution is to use text-indent:1px; on your paragraphs, if you feel you need to implement a fix.

I can't see well on your screenshot, but I think its the font issue, try with different font.

I suspect there can be three reasons:

1. The container of your menu is pushed there to left making text that way
2. It may be font issue too (this happens sometimes due to fonts)
3. Try adding line-height to your list.
