HTML Nested Lists with Specific Styles Not Aligning Correctly in Chrome - Seeking CSS Solutions

I've been researching this but I'm working on a nested list structure using HTML and CSS, and I'm working with an alignment scenario specifically in Chrome. The outer list has specific padding and margins that are supposed to create a visually distinct separation from the nested list items, but in Chrome, they seem to be misaligned. Here's the HTML structure I'm using: ```html <ul class="outer-list"> <li>Item 1</li> <li> Item 2 <ul class="inner-list"> <li>Subitem 2.1</li> <li>Subitem 2.2</li> </ul> </li> <li>Item 3</li> </ul> ``` And my CSS looks like this: ```css .outer-list { padding: 20px; margin: 10px 0; list-style-type: none; } .inner-list { padding-left: 15px; margin-top: 5px; list-style-type: circle; } ``` When I inspect the elements in Chrome's Developer Tools, it appears that the nested list is not respecting the `padding-left` and instead overlaps with the text above it. In Firefox and Safari, it looks perfectly fine. I've tried adding `display: block;` to the `.inner-list` CSS but that didn't change anything. Also, I ensured that there are no conflicting styles by checking for `* { box-sizing: border-box; }` and ensuring that's not interfering. Has anyone encountered a similar scenario with nested lists in Chrome? Any suggestions on how to fix the alignment while keeping the design consistent across browsers? This behavior is quite frustrating as I need the lists to look uniform across all major browsers. Any pointers in the right direction?
