Why does my off-canvas menu push my fixed div out of frame when opened?

Question

I use Pushy off-canvas menu for my website, it works great but it troubles my fixed div header . When I scroll down through the page, the header sticks perfectly to top but once I open the off-canvas menu, my header disappears? And when I close my off-canvas menu, it comes back abruptly. It looks weird.

You can check the ( code pen ) live demo of my problem, here. Or directly run the code snippet below.

I want it to stay visible when the off-canvas menu is opened. Help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

There is a closed issue about that in pushy:

The trick is to have any fixed position (like a fixed header) elements outside of the container div. See the demo.html for examples.

Moving .header outside #container in your case works.

If you're interested in what is causing that, see this answer .
