71309 - history window and sidebar blank

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: History: Global, defect)

Description

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

Tested 030805 mozilla linux build on RedHat 6.2

Summary:  The History sidebar tab and the History window (Tasks|Tools|History)
are both completely blank.  The colum headers are visible but not nistory
entries are visible. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. launch browser
2. open sidebar History Tab or History window ( Tasks | Tools | History )

Results:
History tab and window contents are empty

Expected Results:
History tab and window display browser history contents

Additional Information:  No win32 or mac builds to test with yet.  Yesteraday's
linux build did not have this problem.  Possibly caused by alecf's checkins for
bug 65862.  Tested with old and new profiles and it is broken for both.  Tested
with classic and modern skins and it is broken with both.

ok, I just figured out a workaround, which will disable hierarchical history and
go back to the old one:

Alec, there isn't a 2001-03-09-07 or later build yet.  was the fix for this not 
checked in before this morning's build?

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

This is failing in 2001030905 linux mozilla builds but working in 2001030908 and
2001030909 linux mozilla builds.  alecf checked in a fix between the those
builds so it should be working.
