Navigation Bar as Tree Control
The option to display the navigation panel on the left as a more traditional tree control - users seem to get confused by the current layout.

The folding/unfolding seems like a neat idea, but it confuses users and its re-formatting (ie "...") makes it less even less user-friendly.
A traditional tree gives a user a "whole of wiki" navigation .. and with collapsing, an option to narrow it. That's why the metaphor works. This "auto" nav is "too smart" and loses the user.
