Hi Paul(Gil?),
That's great to hear that KC works on Midori! It's always nice to have a
surprise that's pleasant every once in a while...
Regarding your wishes:

titles.
I (Firefox) see a vertical resize bar to make the TOC frame wider -
perhaps try a different browser. There's no horizontal resize bar, just
the vertical scroll bar. If you want to see more lines, your current
best bet might be to reduce the size of the browser font (e.g. via
Ctrl-[minus key]). It worked for me, though I could've benefited from a
magnifying glass.

Yes, I agree that that's annoying. The issue is actually already known,
so we'll hope for a resolution soon. In the meantime, at least the
search target is highlighted and its path is expanded in the TOC, so
just scroll down until you see the highlighted, expanded topic to orient
yourself.

Yes, this is another annoyance that is known and hopefully resolved
soon. It's a pain, but, if you've scrolled in a topic and don't want to
re-scroll when you return to it, the best thing to do for now is to just
open links in new tabs/windows and return to the original tab/window
when you're done.
And...

There is! https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/ :
Brand = Servers and Systems Software
Product family = z Systems Software
Product = z/OS
Component = Knowledge Center
For example:

OTOH, I was pleased and very surprised to find it works on Midori on a
virtualized
Linux. Slower than two boxes of dirt, but I'll attrbute that to VirtualBox.

Is there an RFE process for KC?
