What does the content area overlapping the sidebar have to do with a "vertical
scrollbar" which I presume is the scrollbar provided by the browser.

Excuse me if I can not find a better wording. There should be whatever way to
let the browser know which areas should not overlap.

Because the page does not use "HTML frame syntax" (in Monobook etc. skins) to
define the areas another way should be found; I have no clue which one.

I would like to keep the "navigation area" at the right but have a scrollbar for
the remaining "main content area". I thing that scrolling would be better then
overlapping.

So you presume that the only way to fix this problem is to use frames?

I am not up to date about what is possible in page design and what not.

It might be an idea to use tables to do the job. The "navigation area / table"
would have a fixed width, the "content area / table" not. Most important is to
avoid overlaping; a "scrollbar" would be usefull but is not so important.

Please open another bug if necessary. Regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]

You can try adding the following to your monobook.css:

#bodyContent {

overflow: auto;

}

I think that should produce a scrollbar instead of overlapping when the content
width is too large.

Hallo Lejonel;

For
http://yi.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gangleri/tests/%E2%80%AB%D7%B0%D7%99%D7%A5%E2%80%AB%E2%80%AB%E2%80%AB%E2%80%AB

the up/dows scrollbar covers part of the text. This hight of the page is small
and no scroll bar should be required.

Regarding your sugestion and
http://yi.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:Allmessages
http://yi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Allmessages

I beleive that due to the size of these pages page content will be lost. With
Mozilla Firefox I can see the messages ("more or less only") until
[[MediaWiki:exif-gpsaltitude]].

Make the broser window smaller and smaller until you see the problem of the
overlaping areas ("main area" and "navigation area").
