This would also have the advantage that the first line usually wouldn't wrap, as it often does currently. Personally I think (2) is a good compromise. That seems like a good idea to try. Actually editing the buffer is undesirable, though. Perhaps It would be better to make the links invisible and intangible. On the other hand, then copying it would give peculiar results -- the links would appear in the copy. This is leading to issues that are more bigger than just Info. > We already have graphical navigation buttons on the tool bar. Thanks for the reminder! The header line must not appear at all if the tool bar is enabled. That could be a good idea in addition to the above.
