Comment:

 Hi @karmatosed. If I understand correctly, you would like to close this
 ticket because by now everyone has gotten used to the new behavior. That
 seems to imply it's an issue of personal preference or getting used to a
 new way of doing things, which is not the case.

 Version 2.6 of the Twenty Fifteen theme introduced a regression that
 worsens user experience. When sidebar and content are longer than the
 height of the viewport (which would be common for blogs) users who have
 read an article now have to scroll all the way up again to access the top
 sidebar elements (which typically include the main navigation). Since this
 defeats the purpose of having a sticky sidebar in the first place, I would
 argue that even today, four years later, anyone using Twenty Fifteen would
 still benefit from having this bug fixed.

 I have removed the close keyword just so that the ticket won't get pruned
 accidentally. If I have not convinced you that this is a valid bug and
 still relevant, perhaps a second opinion would be helpful. In any event, I
 have done my part and said my piece, so if you all feel that this bug is
 not worth fixing, go ahead and close as wontfix.

 PS: It seems the ID 46308 in my original post links to an unrelated issue
 with the same ID rather than the changeset. Here's the correct link to see
 the changes that introduced the regression:
