When a custom user state is set, it will overlay on the user menu…

I figured this may be a very small css bug, not important, but I’ll report it anyway XD

A simple example:

Hello,

I can confirm there is a `z-index` issue under 1000px, menus and `header-cloak`. User status and notifications badge has `z-index` which cause it. I think it can be removable from these elements.

I move it to #Contribute > UX as this is a ux issue. 🙂
