Open Help->Help Contents and notice that the left pane is empty.
Confirmed on Linux and Windows.

Maybe a regression from vlad's checkin starting 08/17/2004 19:00 PDT.
Flags: blocking-aviary1.0PR+
Regressed between 08/17 and 08/18.

This is a blocker for work on Help content.
There is something with the way help deals with the datasources for the side
pane that is interacting badly with the inference data source bits.  If I set an
'infer="forward-proxy"' on the help elements that have templates, the content
gets built correctly; however, many other places in ffox that don't use
inference (e.g. history sidebar, various menus, etc.) work fine.

Effectively, if the infer attribute isn't there, the template builder should
behave exactly as it did before, so I'm not sure what's going on.  I'll keep
tracking it down.
Attached patch agg-fix-1.patchSplinter Review
The template builder didn't correctly pick up the newly created Composite DS if
the datasources were reloaded, which the help sidebar does (as it dynamically
adds them).  Attached patch fixes
Thanks vlad, works fine!

vlad:

Were the changes that caused this regression checked into the trunk or 1.7?
Neither; I'll be checking this into the trunk (including this patch) today, however.
Do you see any reason why this patch would be useful on 1.7?
Not this particular patch by itself; if the aggregation patch from bug 235665
gets taken for 1.7, then this will come along with it.
