Uhhh. Firefox in windoes does it right: the right bar stays always on
the right, never mind how little page content. I will investigate.

I notice i am getting wrong feedback because i enabled
the pages Gemini/Gemini and Gemini/Apollo to switch the skin, for
instant viewing, like the skins in the cookbook. so what you saw there
was not the Gemini Two skin. sorry, i disabled this skin switching to
stop further confusion. I added the skin name on the bottom of the
sidebar menu.

It appears as if the textbox with the code does go underneath the
right bar, but the text in fact does not, but will drop beneath the
right bar. But the surrounding box will go underneath. This is a bit
weird, but it seems to be a characteristic of pmwiki how it displays
blocks. the text in the block is monospace, and it will not
automatically have a line break inserted, but will stretch right for
whatever space it needs. Now if you have  an image right aligned, this
text will actually disppear under the image. So the floating right bar
does push the text below if it is too long, whereas an image does
nothing. See in the SandBox on my testsite.

i just maximised it by excluding left, right and header and title
through changing the $HandleEditFmt array, including a function
"clearframe" where you can set which parts of the page should be
excluded. All courtesy of Pm. should this go into the cookbook, or is
it there already?
and i rewrote the format a bit, taken from the cookbook recipe about
full screen edit.

i just added a page on my site to show some of the code in my
skin.php: Gemini/CustomSkinScript

thank you for your feedback!
Best,
