Steps how to reproduce  with  English SeaMonkey 2.45a1  (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:48.0)  Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0 Build 20160308001946  (Default Classic Theme)  on German WIN7 64bit:

        (see screenshot from SM 2.0.0)  does no longer exist

a) If you want to test "Sidebar Search Tab Preference" with an old
   SM version be careful, Latest SM versions will crash when try to 
   launch with selection / Advanced"
b) Suggestion for Fix:

Confirmed on 2.42.

Additionally, step 5 in "Searching from Sidebar" has:
  Search results for 'toy car' appear in both the browser window and in Sidebar.
This should be replaced with:
  Search results for 'toy car' appear in the browser window.

Should I create a patch to make these changes?

It would also be a good idea to update the screenshot of the sidebar in "Opening, Closing and Resizing Sidebar" in "Customizing SeaMonkey".

If I'm reading correctly, https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/6b8514a38d06 (bug 1236365) seems to cover this bug as well, and the screenshot mentioned in comment #1 was updated in https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/9d75efeb816a (bug 1278619). Should this be considered fixed?
