Always wanted this feature

Thanks for update;

New problem:
When the admin menu and selected option from that menu are too big for browser window I get a jittery admin menu. Jumping, etc.

Hi Ray,

Please try to work with it a couple of days if it’s possible for you, and then please tell if you still experience inconvenience.

For now menu is scrolling only within its own height. This means that when you are scrolling down menu will scroll until we reach its end, then you will see it sticky to the bottom. If you then start to scroll up, menu will follow your scrolling until we reach its top and then will stick to the top. A bit jittery effect is caused by browser default behavior during mouse wheel scrolling. If you try to drag the scroll thumb explicitly you will see more smooth scrolling of the menu as well as other part of the page.

I have discussed and tested this with my clients, and they are happy with the solution we have right now. If you are still unhappy with it, I’ll add another option that will make possible previous menu behavior.

Thank you for your patience and feedback!

Hi Nadia

Jittery effect is still irritating to me.

Ray

Thanks Ray,

I will add an option today or, the latest, tomorrow (sorry, a bit busy).

Please tell me your browser, maybe I will be able to help it. And please more precisely, are you annoyed by too frequent scrolling of menu (and call it jitter) or exactly by its jitter effect during scrolling process?

Thanks!

Hi

Really its just the jitter.

Browser is Opera latest version, and have noticed the same in Chrome.

Update:

Yes it’s the jitter effect during scrolling process.

Hi Ray,

Thank you VERY much! Actually it was a bug. Sorry for my misunderstanding you. It’s just more clear in Opera and IE8 for some reason. Please try update, I hope now it works well.

I decided not to add another option because if one dislikes long menu behavior, one always can turn “sticky menu” option off, thus menu will be scrolling as usual. If menu is not so long it just stays in place, thus the problem is absent. Too many similar options will be confusing and excessive in this simple case.

Please let me know if you have any problem with new sticky menu behavior again.

Hi Ray,

I’ve found a few other bugs, and as a result we have new totally reconsidered approach to sticky menu scrolling mechanism. The idea of its behavior is still the same — scrolling in frames of its height, but JS/CSS is dramatically different and I hope that better. I have tested it with my own project live the last few days intentionally in Opera. It works fine for me. Of course, we have tested it in other browsers too ??

Hello Nadia

I think I’ve found a bug.

When using the collapse admin menu save buttons do not work.

I disabled your plugin and then everything works ok.

Ray

Hi Ray,

Thanks, I will check and fix it.

Ray, please, a bit more details. I just tried to save posts and custom post types in Opera and Chrome with collapsed menu. TPB version is 1.2.2. They work for me both top button and native blue button. Under which conditions are you experiencing this bug? Thanks.

Hello Nadia

I’ve tried General and Reading in Settings, both save buttons are unresponsive in Opera.
