131689 - Sidebar navigation buttons remain visible when sidebar removed/minimized.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[home]

Sidebar 'tab-up' and 'tab-down' buttons remain visible after sidebar is hidden
or removed. Always reproducible (3/4-pane view with folders and sidebar sharing
the far left pane, messages and message view sharing righthand pane):

1) Open the sidebar.
2) minimise the sidebar using arrows on divider between folders window and
sidebar. Note that tab up/down buttons still visible.

Also:
3) Hit F9 (or click View-> Sidebar) to remove sidebar. Sidebar disappears, but
buttons remain.

Closing the mail window and reopening removes the excess buttons if the sidebar
has been removed (they still remain if the sidebar has just been minimised).

I don't get it - how 'tab up/down buttons still visible' after sidebar is hidden
or removed. I tried and don't see the problem. May be screen-shot will help?

I see it on 3-pane window.

Attachment: Image of sidebar buttons when sidebar closed.

Here's a screenshot of the bug (bottom left corner of Mail window). I can
supply a full screenshot if that would be helpful. Note I tried this at home
and could'nt reproduce the bug - my guess is that you need a large number (I
have 10 at work) of sidebar tabs for the problem to appear.

Also after clicking a few times on grippy we can get the state that Sidebar does
not return to the previous  state - only upper part of Sidebar is shown. This
part seems related to bug 132423.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.
