Top menu scrolling off page

[OptikWebCreative]

Steps to reproduce the issue

Any Admin Page, scroll down page, the top menu with the sidebar collapse button is scrolling off page, this is problematic when viewing for example the extension library on a smaller screen laptop (13"), when the text is interrupted and you have multiple instances of broken words

Expected result

Top dark blue menu be static as well as the grey menu underneath it

Actual result

Grey menu locks to top of page, blue menu scrolls off page

System information (as much as possible)

Thank you for reporting.

I am not sure if I understand correctly. Can you confirm for me that the issue is with this repo? Note that on this repo the menu 'toggle' has been moved to the sidebar.

hi @ciar4n I noticed that it had moved, however the whole side menu scrolls off which I find surprising, prefer the locked functionality. also some of the popout menus are also missing their background they appear to be white

I'll let @coolcat-creations @svom answer that one. Basically how do you envision the sidebar (sticky or scrolling).

popout menus are also missing their background they appear to be white

This issue has been fixed with https://github.com/joomla/40-backend-template/pull/412

I would have thought it would be sticky either expanded or collapsed, that way you don't have to scroll to the top of a long page (eg in extension install from web or plugins to change sections

The down side is a fixed sidebar will need a scroll bar if menu items extend beyond the viewport. This can often be the case on smaller screens and/or if there is a large number of menu items (eg. components if many installed).

maybe an option in one of the main config pages? to lock or not personally I think the expand button and sidebar was better as in alpha-3 just lock the blue menu above the grey menu area
