WebHelp Left Navigation Pane Adjustment

[agambina]

Hello,

RH11 / IE 11

I would like to get the horizontal bar on the left navigation pane to reset to 0 position OR specify width of left navigation pane to fit longest topic title. Once I generate WebHelp and view in IE, I see:

When I begin browsing through my topics, left navigation pane creates a horizontal scroll bar that cuts off the left side (as shown below):

Horizontal scroll bar is:

The users must drag the bar to left position if they want to see TOC

Is there any way around this? Thank you.

I was able to find a javascript programmer to modify the whthost.js file. Adobe RH dev team should add this to their 'to fix' pile.
