Hi @tyj-321 ! This is normal behaviour for multi-page sites, unfortunately! 😄 You can see it in other docs sites that are not JavaScript apps, too.

It's not a bug, though we have been discussing whether this is something we can and should change in Starlight. There are some annoying edge cases to figure out, and we were surprised it's really not as easy to ensure that this is good behaviour for everyone in all the different ways people are using their sidebars (collapsed or not, scrolled or not, on a page that doesn't even have a sidebar entry or not...)

So I'm going to close this because it's not a bug! We're just deciding on the behaviour we want. You can view the open draft PR we've been working on (and finding out just how difficult it is to find a sensible solution) and participate in the Starlight Discussion there!
