Mmh, I don't get this point - it usually depends on what frame gets
extended when adding a scrollbar. If a page jumps, then the site design
is weird (and this is independent from any menu concept). Or, maybe I
simply don't get it ...

Oh, here I'd like to jump in - it is :-) When looking on other site
designs (neither shops, nor other databases - they do have a different
approach), people get sometimes lost if they start the search. Because
the search functionality applies across all site content, and all
hierarchical ordering (menu) doesn't help here. So it is required to
"deactivate" the menu - but this might mean being lost. So the frame is
just visual helper to explain this "mode change".

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! Great to see that we start to also
improve the visual appearance and the interaction concepts. Let's go on,
please :-)

Cheers,
Christoph
