I've experienced this in FireFox on both Lucid (have not tried Maverick yet) and Windows, and in Internet Explorer and Google Chrome on Windows.

Try http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/ls.1.html and narrow it down so just the body of the man page and table of contents strip are visible. The search text box and search button will disappear. Hit refresh, and the table of contents strip will disappear. If you widen the page again and hit refresh, the table of contents reappears.

I'd like to be able to narrow my browser window so that it just fits the content of the man page, including the table of contents, and see the search text box and button with no horizontal scroll bar.

Ted

@Ted: I can't reproduce the issue you've described in #2 in either
Chrome or Firefox on Maverick. Can you tell us which specific URL this
happens on and which browser/Ubuntu version you're using?

After adjusting to the new manpage format on the web, I am pleased. The format is much cleaner and easier to read - bravo! My enthusiasm is tempered by two issues:

1. The header and footer displays are much wider than the content. It would be nice to be able to adjust the width of the browser window as narrow as possible without showing the horizontal scroll bar and still see the content of the page as well as the header and footer. Currently, when the browser window is adjusted to the width of the content, the ubuntu logos and, more importantly, the search box scroll off the window to the right.

2. The table of contents strip on the left disappears after a refresh.
