...because you're on your iPhone.  The jitter does not occur on my iPod 4
either.  Tested Chrome and Safari.

On Windows, though, Chrome, IE9, and IE10 show a janky, jittery navigation
header.

Thank you for that.  Extremely helpful.  I guess I should've looked in the
docs for the deprecated/merged Vector extension.  Irksome.

However, for future readers, this is a work-around (a really good one), but
not a solution per se.

The original problem remains: The header of the first section of the
sidebar appears then disappears... for unknown reasons.
