      Someone has added a Trimble linked image to the right-hand end of the top-banner.
      That image [ https://www.sketchup.com/sites/developers.sketchup.com/files/core/trimble-logo-white.png ] is not found, and as a result the default place-holder is making the top-banner deeper because the default place-holder is larger.
      As a result the top part of the main page is covered over by the top-banner...
      The broken-link place-holder in Firefox and IE are quite large, in Edge and Chrome they are much smaller and they avoid this 'overlapping'.

      Report it to Trimble/SketchUp direct...

          The API docs wasn't changed. But I suspect that a logo we used changed when site updates for SU2019 was released. I'll look into it.

            If you inspect the code the Trimble-linked image PNG is missing from the files needed by the html to render the top-banner properly.
            In Edge and Chrome the default place-holder is quite small so the top banner's size is OK and the whole page below it is accessible, however, in Firefox and IE the place-holder is much bigger and that increases the height of the top-banner, which then obscures the first few lines of the left-most column in the main-page.
            It didn't used to be like that, so I suspect that either the Trimble-link is either a badly constructed recent addition, OR it's older and the expected PNG file has been deleted or perhaps renamed - either way, thereby breaking the proper rendering of the html...

              Thanks thomthom, for using your super-powers - the banner's images/html all work properly now...

                      Checked it this morning and its a broken link still.

                      However, it doesn't really affect the option to choose from Methods, Classes etc... below it.

                        Hi Medeek,

                        Here is what I get on Firefox, no way to select classes or methods as you can see.
                        I must use Edge to read the API doc, and I HATE Edge πŸ˜‰

                          I initially loaded it up in Chrome. I guess each browser renders it slightly differently.

                          Someone really needs to fix this.

                            It's a very easy fix - either the missing PNG specified in the HTML code needs adding to the HTML's file-set, or the HTML's code needs changing to find a PNG that does exists in its file-set.
                            When I contacted thomthom before he got it fixed very quickly.
                            But I've been in touch with thomthom by PM again recently - and this time it's taking much longer to fix !
