Read The Docs flyout menu is now in the bottom-right corner

[thibgc]

Read The Docs changed how they do various things including the flyout menu [1]. In our Insipid-themed, Read The Docs-managed documentation projects [2][3], this has caused the flyout menu to appear in the bottom-right corner (leaving a blank area in the bottom-left corner where it used to be).

Thanks for reporting this!

I'm aware of this new behavior, and I don't like it.

There are some discussions going on, e.g. here: readthedocs/readthedocs.org#11688

Other themes are affected by this as well, but I haven't yet seen a real good solution how to work around this new situation.

If you have any ideas, please let me know!

I'm thinking about moving my own projects off of RTD eventually, but I still have to find a way how to handle a multi-version site. I have done some experiments there: https://github.com/mgeier/version-injector-nursery/
