 Replying to [comment:23 iamtakashi]:

 That would mean tracking viewport height and conditionally fixing the
 sidebar based on whether the height is taller than the total area taken up
 by title + menu + widgets. I'm concerned about how that would work on
 smaller screens like tablets in horizontal mode.

 > It's a simple idea. If the sidebar is shorter than window, fix the
 position because that gives you better navigation experience. However if a
 user choose to put many widgets and to have a long sidebar, it obviously
 needs to be scrollable so that viewers can see all widgets.
