Hi Praveen, doxygen added these navigation columns by default as a new feature in version 1.13.0 <https://www.doxygen.nl/manual/changelog.html#log_1_13_0>. With pull request #18932 <https://github.com/dealii/dealii/pull/18932>, those will be disabled for the deal.II documentation.
I believe we adjusted these flags on our hosted documentation already, but didn't update it in the dox file in our repository.
