Navbar padding issue

So I have this issue where my Navbar splits itself based on the specified padding. Easier to see what I mean below.

example

As you can see I have an extra blank menu item which after some time I was able to narrow down to it being caused by the padding.

example2

Above is with 0 padding. How can I keep the Navbar height along with fixing the menu?

li a {
    display: block;
    text-align: center;
    font: Verdana;
    font-size: 16px;
    color: #EAE0D2;
    text-decoration: none;
    padding: 0;
}

Specifically:

padding: 20px; (image1) padding: 0px; (image 2)

Snippet

#menu {
	display: flex;
	margin: 0;
	width: 1080px;
	margin-top: 5%;
	list-style-type: none;
	background: linear-gradient(#3E3E3E, #2B2B2B);
	overflow: hidden;
}

li {
	flex: 1;
	border-right: 1px solid #232323;
}

li:last-child {
	border: none;
}

li a {
	display: block;
	text-align: center;
	font: Verdana;
	font-size: 16px;
	color: #EAE0D2;
	text-decoration: none;
	padding: 0;
}

li a:hover {
	background: linear-gradient(#404040, #3E3E3E);
}
<nav>
<ul id="menu">
  <li class="active"><a href="index.html">HOME</a></li>
  <li><a href="gallery.html">GALLERY</a></li>
  <li><a href="art.html">ART</a></li>
  <li><a href="contact.html">CONTACT</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>

Want was your problem? (My assumption) First check this CODEPEN

You were assigning padding property to li a:hover, instead of li a.

As it's possible to achieve the desired result by adding padding to li a and other way is by assigning line-height to either li/#menu. 

#menu {
  display: flex;
  margin: 0;
  width: 1080px;
  margin-top: 5%;
  list-style-type: none;
  background: linear-gradient(#3E3E3E, #2B2B2B);
  overflow: hidden;
}

li {
  flex: 1;
  border-right: 1px solid #232323;
}

li:last-child {
  border: none;
}

li a {
  display: block;
  text-align: center;
  font: Verdana;
  font-size: 16px;
  color: #EAE0D2;
  text-decoration: none;
  padding: 20px;
}

li a:hover {
  background: linear-gradient(#404040, #3E3E3E);
}
<nav>
  <ul id="menu">
    <li class="active"><a href="index.html">HOME</a></li>
    <li><a href="gallery.html">GALLERY</a></li>
    <li><a href="art.html">ART</a></li>
    <li><a href="contact.html">CONTACT</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>
