130625 - blank sidebar

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 127113

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect)

Description

[ns]

Cannot reliably reproduce this. Sidebar became blank (dark grey colour, no
features under the titlebar which says 'Sidebar Tabs X'). Had 15 tabs open, had
selected 'view source' of a page though have tried this again and doesn't seem
to be sufficient cause.

Worked-around by selecting 'Tabs' dropdown - Search,Bookmarks,History were
ticked. Unticked each one, then re-ticked, and on re-ticking the re-ticked tab
re-appeared.

Pretty sure this happened once under linux as well, Mozilla 0.9.8 binary distro
running under SuSE 7.1 with kernel 2.4.17

I experienced the same thing, but also can't reliably reproduce.

I only have 3 tabs displayed: Bookmarks (600KB+), History, and Search. 
Bookmarks is almost always open.

I tried to reproduce it before, and this procedure worked at least a couple
times (but failed far more):

1)  Click on the right edge of the sidebar to hide it
2)  Close Moz
3)  Close Quicklaunch
4)  Load Moz
5)  Load webpage (cnn.com)
6)  Click on right edge of hidden side bar to display it
Result (a couple times): Sidebar blank grey, no tabs, as described by reporter.

Same as bug 127113 but proves what I suspected: SidebarRebuild() isn't the
culprit but the function it calls (refresh() on sbPanleList) probably is.
