      @asdffdsa6131 said in issues aceesing the menu pane at https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/:

      however, the left pane, which is the menu pane, does not have scroll bars, so I cannot see all items.

      Just scroll using the mouse wheel.

        hi grimson,
        thanks for repsonding quickly.

        I do not use a mouse.
        I found a work around, but it is very annoying.
        I have to right-mouse-click on the menu to select it and then I can use the keyboard keys to scroll. and I have to do each and every time over and over again.

        please consider adding a simple scroll bar to the menu pane.

          When you open the page and hit TAB once you can use the keyboard arrow keys.

              Thanks for pointing that out, it shouldn't be assumed everyone has a scroll wheel. That is something better for the theme, https://github.com/rtfd/sphinx_rtd_theme, to implement, but I'll look into that some and see if there is anything that can be done to move it forward.

              edit: found an issue that talks about the lack of a scrollbar: https://github.com/rtfd/sphinx_rtd_theme/issues/468

                  I noticed that this website seems to be using the same/similar software/theme and it has scrollbars.

                    Thanks! They seem to have a customized theme, I'll take a look: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tree/devel/docs/docsite/_themes/sphinx_rtd_theme

                        I should have fixed this, let me know if the fix didn't work. There is a good chance the old CSS is stuck in cache though so make sure to clear it.
