Yes.
It turns out to be unique to the NiFi Registry documentation.
For example, if I follow that link in either Chrome or Firefox, I can
scroll to the bottom if I do it right away. A few seconds later,
however, whether I rescroll to the top and back down to the bottom or
just wait for it, suddenly, there is no way to see anything except
what's in the current browser window's displayed content, no way to
scroll, the elevator is long, solid grey, the arrows at top and bottom
of the scroll bar do nothing, etc.
Here I am posting this observation, but I have just discovered that the
scroll bar (on the right-hand side) belongs not to the content, but to
the wide navigational thumb at the left. I can scroll after all as long
as the cursor is in the content region, but if it drifts to the
navigational thumb or I try to use the scrollbar, I cannot scroll.
So, I suppose this behavior is peculiar to whatever framework (I'm a
back-end Java guy) is in use for this set of browser pages. I looked for
other NiFi documents exhibiting this peculiarity, but none exhibit this
problem and none make use of the navigational thumb at the left that the
registry documentation presents (and whose contents are:
- NiFi Registry Documentation
-----------------------------
General
Getting Started
User Guide
Admin Guide
Developer
REST API)
I thought I'd report this; it's not that important.

Not long upon beginning to read this document, it becomes
impossible to scroll it. Sometimes, backing up to the first page
and clicking on a hyperlink (Starting NiFi Registry, I Started
NiFi Registry. Now What?, etc.) lands you where you want to read
and you can scroll, but this is usually short-lived. The scroll
bar elevator is always the same height as the scroll bar, as if
your window height is also the total content available. Even when
you land somewhere and are able to scroll, this ability will
disappear after a little while.
Or, I'm a monkey's uncle. It could be. Maybe my environment?

I don't have a perfect handle on the exact behavior, but it is
very hard to read straight through the document. I thought I'd ask
if anyone else has trouble.
