If I recall correctly, the hiding-method was changed in 1.18 or 1.19 because
display: none; had side-effects defeating its very purpose! Screenreaders are
given a link that jumps to #jump-to-nav. However browsers can't scroll to a
section that has no place in the rendering, it has to have a place in the
document structure and also in the visual rendering (so that the browser can
calculate to which pixel it should scroll). The element can be transparant and
only 1x1px in size, but it must not be display: none;. This new hiding method
was apparently only tested in Vector and works there, but it needs fixing in
Monobook (or perhaps a different hiding method that doesn't cause this problem
in Monobook). Either way, using display: none; (as you did now) is not an
acceptable solution in the long term. It's okay for now since it is an
understandable decision to prioritize the ability for most people to click the
navigation links at all, then to allow the smaller part of the population to be
able to skip to the navigation using screenreaders, but really both are
important groups so this should be fixed soon and this local change reverted.
