Re: CSS help needed!

Hi :)

Just an issue with z-index of things that are not in the same container
(rememeber that z-index depend on the positioning context that also depend
of the structure of the DOM tree)

To avoid the issue, add position:relative and z-index: -1 to the .tool-area
element when the #viewissue_header_container container become fixed

Cheers
