Disable header.autohide

[FernandoBasso]

I DO NOT have header.autohide (as mentined in the docs in theme features, but the header still collapses/hides when I scroll the page. Is there any other setting that could be influencing it? How to disable it?

$ pip3 show mkdocs mkdocs-material | grep '\(Name\|Version\)'

Not sure why this is happening. If the feature is not enabled, the header should not hide. Please update to the latest version (8.1.11) and check whether the issue persists. If it does, please provide a minimal reproducible example.

The bar hides on scroll both on Linux and the macOS work machine and on different browsers. I remember it acting like this since the time I setup this project a month ago.

I only opened the issue today (and not a month ag) because I stumbled upon that piece of docs about authohide (didn't know it was an option) and decided that for this particular case, we would try disabling autohide for a few weeks and see how it would feel.

I'll try to debug a little more and see if I can dig some more information. It is up to you if you want to close this issue.

You can check the source of the site, more specifically the <script id=__config>...</script> element. It should not list header.autohide. I suspect that it does list it for some reason as the JavaScript application is told to activate that feature:

No, header.autohide is not present.

I'm sorry. I think it is a misunderstanding on my part. I thought the the header would not collapse up, or shrink.

Not hidden, not collapsed (the menu is present):

Hidden, collapsed (the menu is hidden):

I thought header.autohide not being set would prevent that collapsing to happen.

Sorry for wasting your time and thanks a lot for this awesome project.

The feature you're looking for is called navigation.tabs.sticky.

Thanks a lot. I think we can close this/mark as resolved (if I find out how).
