Thanks for updating the CSS to fix the problems I reported.

I notice at https://www.gnu.org/style.css, it says

/* Last update 2024-09-28 */

but presumably you updated it in the last couple of days or so.

It seems to me that it may be unsustainable for one person (you) to
maintain CSS for all these manuals.  The style.css file is full
of code that is specific for particular manuals.  I would expect the
developers of those manuals to take responsibility for setting CSS
for their manuals.
