I'm not sure where this is coming from, maybe due to a different version of Sphinx or something, but I noticed that there appears to be some glitch in the header of the docs pages generated from the buildbot.  For example:





Expanding the sidebar shows that the glitch stays in place while the rest of it shifts over:


And scrolling a bit shows that it is fixed in place vertically too:





There is also something similar on the "Home" page:





Any ideas?

Ah, I see what it is.  It's the rest of the title that should be showing up after the "Documentation" in the first line, but it is being wrapped for me.  I didn't see it in Andrea's build of the docs because I had that window zoomed to the next smaller font size.  So now the question becomes, can we prevent that from wrapping, or to wrap without overflowing into the next section...

Robin,
The biggest problem is the number of links on the header for every
page (i.e., "Home", "Search", "Gallery", "modules" etc...). As a
starter, I will take away the "Search" hyperlink as there already is a
search box on the right. Second, I can probably shorten the
"Documentation" link to a simple "Docs" links. Other than that, there
are 2 alternatives:

1) Remove the "Gallery" and possibly some other links at the top of
the page ("modules"? "index"?);
2) Customize the Phoenix.css style sheet to somehow nicely wrap the
header if the window resolution/page size is too small. Unfortunately,
I am not that guru with CSS and I wouldn't know where to start...

I'll be doing some work tonight on this and we'll see if it gets any better.

Andrea.
