How to keep Editor tool bar from disapearing
Asked by Igor Polishchuk:

When I scroll down on the Editor page, the tool bar on the top disappears, and now I need to scroll all the way up to see it again. Seems like a nasty UI bug to me. Any way I can fix the tool bar on the top of the Editor page? I'm using the classical editor.

It should stick at the top and scroll down the page with you. What browser are you using? Have you tried a different browser or clearing your cache? It could also be caused by a browser plugin.

I'm using Firefox 85.0.1 and would like to keep using it. After all, it is not IE 4.0. What browser plugin we are talking about here? Any random one?  
I've tried cleaning the cache, it did not help.  
Looks like a bug to me.  
The tool bar sticks to the top through initial scrolled pages. Now, I'm scrolling through a large document to the bottom. Because it is large and takes time, I may reach the bottom, and perhaps the mouse still sends a few scrolling commands at the bottom. At this moment the tool bar disappears. Now, I need to scroll all the way to the top to see the bar again. Pretty frustrating. I might try to stick to the Google Docs.

Just tested in Firefox with an extremely large page and am not having the same issue. Can you please try something like chrome to confirm that it is the page or the browser.

I've actually found for myself a workaround that mostly works. I just added many empty lines to the bottom of my page, so I don't accidentally over-scroll beyond the last line.

Perhaps, it might break the UI. ![Screen Shot 2021-02-18 at 16.19.54.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/131186i47DE8B00916A8A44/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Screen Shot 2021-02-18 at 16.19.54.png")

body: Yes, the tool bar begins to disappear when the up-sell message begins to appear from the bottom as I scroll.

It doesn't in Firefox or Chrome and surely has nothing to do with cache-voodoo. Whenever I start to scroll down, the editor tool bar disappears instantly regardless how much I scrolled down and when a start to scroll up again, depending on where the mouse is and other things it might re-appear. The problem is that it's not reliable! Sometimes scrolling up a little is suffiecient already, sometimes not.

To me it looks like how it works currently is as designed: Whenever one scrolls down, the editor bar should disappear. BUT it most likely should reappear whenever one moves the mouse to the top again where the hidden editor bar was placed before. And that is what's not working reliable and is VERY annoying!

So is there any way to disable that behaviour? Otherwise this should simply be fixed and the checked space to be shown again increased or something like that. I really can't stress how much I hate the current behaviour and how much it annoys me to edit sites in Confluence.

After the document is loaded, there are two scroll bars on the right. When I scroll up with my mouse wheel, only the innermost page is scrolled (document view). To make editor reappear I need to manually scroll the right-most bar to the top.![Screenshot 2024-05-31 at 17.13.00.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/327147iB13A49F1B934B78A/image-dimensions/308x353?v=v2 "Screenshot 2024-05-31 at 17.13.00.png")
