This is very likely a browser problem.  The only relevant
style information for that bar is:

table.navigation#top
{
  background: #ffeeee;
  border: solid 1px #ffaaaa;
  margin-top: 0;
  margin-bottom: 0;
  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  height: 2em;
  z-index: 1;
}

And it looks good.

Now this is strange.  Epiphany uses the rendering engine of
one of the others, but Firefox 1.5 and 2 should be different
enough -- unless some kind of `we know what is good for you
and therefore silently use the newer version' gimmick
prevents you from actually seeing the result of rendering
with two different engines.

I suppose the problem disappears when you use a different
(a) distribution (i.e. patches and tweaks)
(b) rendering engine (KHTML, Opera, ...)
but that's hardly a solution.

You can make local documentation usable by removing the

  position: fixed;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  height: 2em;
  z-index: 1;

part from styles.  This will make the pink thing scroll with
the rest of the content.

gtk-devel or gtk-doc would be definitely better if it was
a problem with the styles and they required a fix.  However,
it does not seem so.

Definitely not me (many browsers, including several
Firefoxes).  Cannot some borken extension cause this?
