--- Comment #17 from Bartosz Dziewoński <[email protected]> 2012-10-21 20:23:54 UTC --- Rainer, yes, this would kinda work – but only kinda, unfortunately. A better way could be position:fixed with bottom: and top: set (instead of setting height), since the sidebar doesn't span 100% of screen height (there is also the header / the logo / some other menus / stuff). Still, the scrollbars this would generate would look ugly, and while you and I might now care, some people do; so this certainly shouldn't be the default. Also, this reduces the amount of screen estate allocated to the sidebar when you scroll down a little, and forces people to actually use that other scrollbar to reach their links, instead of the primary one. This could have detrimental effect on those who use keyboard for navigation, either due to disabilities or just because typing is faster (I do). And, as you mentioned, this should be solved for all skins. I have once, years ago, written a user-script that would do this for Monobook on client-side – using a little pin icon that would toggle the sidebar being kept in place or scrollable, and that would hide the logo once you scrolled down, but it appears nlot to work anymore: https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedysta:Matma_Rex/scrollNavigation.js So, Rainer – please file a new bug, and CC me on it – I might have a go at it when I have time. (Or possibly post to wikitech-l, since, as it was noted in the discussion below, this might warrant further debate.) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
