Thanks for your update Sergey . FYI, I contacted OS last week and they mentionned that they are aware of this "malfunction" (did you noticed, i cleverly avoided the word "bug" 😂)  They noted it is an issue that will be solved, but no idea when.

    We are looking into simple static site solutions as well since "no idea when" is how must of our bug reports and enhancement requests have gone.

    If others are curious we are exploring:

    Material MkDocs

    Docusaurus

    GitBook
