| Mar 27, 2016 at 19:55 | comment | added | Sam | I think I've seen better implementations of this -- this example is particularly annoying. It might be better if it waited until you scroll up a little more before revealing the entire header instead of having it slide down immediately. It would also be less obtrusive if it used a smaller version of the header with just the relevant navigation elements. | |

| Mar 25, 2016 at 21:33 | comment | added | O. R. Mapper | @JonH: Uh, no? At least for me, if I scroll until the first full paragraph (ending with "... fundamentally than perhaps either Harry or Hermione.") has just disappeared, and then scroll up again by moving the scrollbar thumb a few pixels up, the header pops up and obscures not only that first paragraph, but actually even the first two lines of the next paragraph, which were previously visible - and that already includes the vertical inter-paragraph spacing. | |

| Mar 25, 2016 at 18:29 | comment | added | Barmar | It appears that they assume that scrolling up is mainly intended to get back to the navbar at the top. They probably think they're doing you a favor by revealing it immediately, instead of making you scroll all the way. | |
| Mar 25, 2016 at 16:04 | comment | added | user31389 | It is really annoying. Usually it makes me quit reading the article. If you want to hide the floating navbar, consider: a) making it thinner and revealing it on mouseover (or tap - but the tap area has to be big enough); b) having a floating icon in a corner that reveals the navbar when clicked. | |
