Disable sticky_navigation in sphinx-rtd-theme #3071

Summary

Currently, when scrolling any page of the Ansible docs, the navigation (on the left) scrolls with the main page. Each time I need to find out what is the position of current page in the overall docs structure, or how many topics are left in the group of pages I am reading, I need to move my mouse to the left and scroll. This is especially frustrating for long pages.

In my opinion, much better user experience would be if both navigation and main content could be scrolled independently. As far as I know, such option is available in the theme.

From my perspective, current behavior does not help in anything, changing this behavior would help a lot in navigating my way through the docs.

Possible solution

As far as I know, the solution is to set sticky_navigation to false in the theme settings (as documented here), in this file

Of course I would be more than happy to contribute a PR if the proposal gets accepted.
