It sounds like you're experiencing a change in behavior regarding how files are displayed in pull requests (PRs), specifically concerning the sticky header or section that used to remain at the top of the view. Here are some points to consider regarding your observation:

1. Expected Behavior vs. Current Behavior

• Expected Behavior: If the top section (like file headers or navigation) was previously sticky and always visible while scrolling, it allowed for easier navigation and interaction, such as marking files as viewed.
• Current Behavior: With the top section scrolling with the rest of the content, it necessitates additional scrolling to access important functions, which can hinder the user experience.

2. Possible Bug or Feature Change

• Bug: If this change was not documented in release notes and seems to have occurred unexpectedly, it could be a bug. In this case, the functionality may not be performing as intended.
• Feature Change: Sometimes, updates are made for various reasons (design choices, performance improvements, etc.), and a sticky header may have been removed intentionally. However, this should ideally be communicated through release notes or updates.

3. User Feedback

If this change is negatively impacting your workflow, consider submitting feedback or reporting it as an issue through the appropriate channels (like a GitHub Issues page or the platform's support). Provide specific details, including:

• The browser you are using
• Any recent updates or changes to the platform
• Steps to reproduce the behavior

4. Workaround

While waiting for a resolution, you might find it helpful to:

• Bookmark the sections or use browser extensions that enhance navigation within web applications.
• Adjust your workflow to accommodate the new behavior, though this may not be ideal.
