I just had a nice mozilla crasher while in full screen mode, and my startbar was completely gone! I was able to to ctrl-esc to get my startmenu, but still no start bar. The only way I could get a startbar back was to launch mozilla, put it into full screen mode then come out of full screen mode. This is pretty bad. If mozilla crashes in fullscreen mode, there must be some way to retrieve the start bar without an expert being able to do this or hitting a power button. A newbie might think his computer is completely unusable now.

I don't think you can say its duplicate, because resolving this bug based on crash and resolving this bug based on skin problem is a separate issue

Jason, please read the bug reporting guidelines (http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html) so you know what is required in a bug report. Always include the Build ID of the build you are using as well as Steps to reproduce the bug (and a Talkback ID for crashes).
Resummarizing. You're right, sorry about the duplication.
Summary: Full-Screen mode might not give start-bar back → Full-Screen mode does not give start-bar back after crash
Was able to reproduce problem with build 2002022603 (noting due to lack of conscienceness and caffeen)
Can I nominate this for mozilla 1.1?
Component: User Interface Design → XP Toolkit/Widgets
The change proposed in bug 195963 will fix this. Setting dependency.
Depends on: 195963
Alright, the dependency has now been fixed for a while. Using Mozilla 1.7b on Win98se, I went into full screen mode, crashed Mozilla (using the testcase to bug 235405), and my task bar was fine. Can we now mark this bug as WFM? (if I don't hear anything in a week, I'll mark it that myself).
WFM using Build 2004032609 on WinXP SP1.
This was fixed along with bug 195963. Marking as FIXED.
