[New-bugs-announce] [issue4965] Can doc index of html version be separately scrollable?

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu>:

In the Windows help version of the docs that come with the Windows .msi
installer, the index pane to the left scrolls separately from the
content pane to the right.  Very nice for jumping around even to other docs.

In the html versions at docs.python.org, there is one scroll bar and the
index disappears when one moves very far down the page.  If sensibly
possible, decoupling index and context would be nice.  Please pardon my
ignorance if not.
