Breadcrumb section at the top of the docs gets hidden on scroll (original) (raw)

I don’t know if this is something new, or if it’s always worked like this, but I’ve recently been frustrated with the way that the “breadcrumbs” section of the docs (the bar at the top with the path to the section you’re looking at) gets hidden when you scroll down from the top of the page.

I find this very annoying, as I typically use that bar to either get back to the main contents of the document I’m in (typically the stdlib docs) or to go to the top TOC to switch documents. I know the “Table of Contents” link in the sidebar does the latter, but my muscle memory goes to the breadcrumb bar (which is what makes me think this was a recent change). Nowadays, if I’m a long way down a documentation page, I need to scroll back to the top to switch.

Could what I’m assuming is the “old” behaviour (with the breadcrumb bar always visible) be either reinstated, or at least made an option? It’s specifically for desktop that I find it useful - I imagine if it was done as a change, it was for space reasons on mobile, so maybe make it always visible on desktop and retain the current behaviour on mobile?
