1262748 - Splitter can still be dragged when sidebar is collapsed

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1171449

(DevTools :: Framework, defect, P3)

Description

[Julian Descottes [:jdescottes]]

Attachment: splitter_collapsed_bug.gif

STR: (see GIF attachment)
- Open inspector
- Collapse the sidebar panel
- Move the mouse right before the border of the window
- Click and drag

ER: "the window resizes" or nothing happens if you actually misclicked inside rather than on the border
AR: the collapsed sidebar appears

The same issue can be reproduced with the Variables/Events panel of the Debugger, the details panel of the Network etc... (basically every module that supports a collapsible panel)

Related issue: when the sidebar is collapsed or hidden the rightmost item your mouse will target is the splitter. When the window is maximized, it is very easy for the user to click on this when trying to click on the scrollbar.

This second issue also affects webconsole and scratchpad, which have hidden side-panels.
