Hello Im using Robohelp V 2022.3.93 with framless output. The template Im using is the oceanic template. Im trying to get the topic LEFT PANEL navigation bar to not automatically align to the top of the topic when you press on a topic. Is there a way to change the way the navigation bar behaves or is this by design? I'd like it to be more static, almost similar to a MS HTML Help output file, that when I scroll down and expand a topic and click on it thats where the navigation bar should stay. Thanks for your help.

I'm not so sure it is an issue. Different templates were designed to work in different ways. Some people will like the behaviour that you don't.

I wouldn't sit back and hope it gets "fixed" as it might have been a deliberate decision. I suggest you submit a feature request for the behaviour to be optional. That would keep everyone happy. 🙂

Please follow this link to report bugs or request new features. https://tracker.adobe.com. Post the link to your bug report / feature request in this thread and others can vote for it. The more people who do so, the higher it gets prioritised.

I've not heard of anyone trying to stop that from happening - try another template to see if it occurs in other designs - that might give you a lead on how to change the behaviour.
ps - it's always better to include images in your post rather than as attachments - makes it easier for people to see what you're talking about.

I tried another template and it worked ok. Looks like an issue with the Oceanic Template. I called tech support and they stated the same, hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Can you include a screenshot of what's happening and what you want to accomplish? I'm not really visualizing what you mean.

Sure, I included two screenshots to help better explain.
