I use conkeror as my web browser and navigate almost exclusively with the keyboard (mouse use affects my RSI). These pages require me to use the mouse to access the table of contents. But I do like how the table of contents functions otherwise, I must admit, which is why my own personal pages use this default configuration. -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 : using Org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.5.246.ga35b4.dirty)

[O] bug: hovering window obscures text
On this page http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#closing-outline-sections a hovering window in the upper right corner obscures text. This is possibly, but not necessarily, especially so when you use large fonts. To reproduce, set the minimum font size in Firefox to the largest available setting.
