added a comment - Any update on this from Atlassian?

added a comment - Try adding this code just before the if statement, then set that "20" to a number larger than whatever the popup box displays when you click the button to show the sidebar:
alert(splitterSidebar.width());
The number may vary depending on which theme is in use. Also, make sure to clear the cache of your browser after making this change, else there's a chance it'll use the old, cached version of the script.

unfortunately, this workaround did not fix the issue in our Confluence 5.3
But thank you anyway.

added a comment - To fix this issue, the following line in doc-theme.js (line 216) needs to be changed from:
if(splitterSidebar.width() > 0){
to:
if(splitterSidebar.width() > 20){

Hi Thomas, Jens
Thanks for raising this issue. Unfortunately there are currently a number of higher priority issues that we need to deal with before investigating issues such as this. As soon as we have any more information on this we'll update the ticket with details.

added a comment - Unfortunately, we also experience this issue in our Confluence 5.5.6. We cannot understand why this major bug hasn't be fixed since over a year!

It's a major bug and is not even assigned to anyone since 2013... The only workaround I know is not to use Internet Explorer. Unfortunately this is the preferred Browser in our company.

added a comment - The workaround is to drag the sidebar border from the left border of the page.

Dear All,
Thanks for taking the time to raise and comment on this issue.
Unfortunately the Documentation theme is discontinued and removed in Confluence version 6.0.1. So we have decided to close this as won't fix
