The breadcrumbs of a page display its location in the content hierarchy of Confluence. They trace the path from the current page back to the dashboard allowing easy navigation up and down the page hierarchy.

The breadcrumbs are displayed at the top of every page.

If you glance up at the breadcrumbs region of this page, above the title, you will see that it reads something like this:

Dashboard > Confluence > ... > Working with Page Families > Breadcrumbs

This means that this page is a child of 'Working with Page Families' which in turn is a part of the space 'Confluence'. The three dots '...' mean that there are other parent spaces between 'Confluence' and 'Working with Page Families'.

    Wow, this is really frustrating.  I'm trying to add a comment with images and now I have to use Google Gears, which doesn't want to add my images for some reason.  So I guess I'll try to explain the best I can without images.

    My breadcrumbs usually wrap 2 or 3 times and when I am viewing a page I can not see the breadcrumbs past the 1st line.  My top navigation bar is blue, with white text.  My breadcrumbs are there, but the blue bar does not expand to show the breadcrumbs.  However, when I edit the page or view the attachments on the page the blue expands to cover all of the breadcrumbs.  I'm not sure what is going on here.  I have my QA environment setup exactly the same way and it works fine.  The only diffence would be the plugins installed.  Is anyone aware of plugins that alter the breadcrumbs?

    I would show you the screens, but I can't upload them the usual way.
