@RHo
I take 'sticky' to mean the footer word mark would stick to the bottom of the page, which I'm guessing you didn't intend.

Presently we dynamically adjust the space beneath the work mark to allow you to scroll the last section to the top of the screen. This is because the TOC's current selection triggers based on which section is scrolled near the top of the screen. Without this there are weird TOC issues, which we fixed in a previous release.

2 options to consider which would work without re-creating the issues I mentioned and be easier to implement:

  • make the white at the bottom gray (seems to only be appearing on very short pages like your user page)
  • make the dynamic space I mentioned above be inserted above rather than below the word mark

Making the white at the bottom gray is the option I would recommend for now, if that's ok.

hi @Mhurd - both options sound reasonable to me, but @cmadeo should make the call

@Mhurd and @RHo, making the gray extend to the bottom sounds like the best solution for now. Thanks!

Ok, I'll update the title/description to reflect the change...
