The sidebar seems to behave properly at ordinary viewing sizes.

On a different note, the color schemes you're using for the pages (with
the possible exception of the one for Tan Tyls) are horribly grating on
the eyes.  I read only partway into the descriptions of Zhyler's cases
before I gave up due to the bright red background.  I do like the idea
of having different colors for each section, just not the colors you've
chosen.
