Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[jay garcia]

Win98SE Mozilla Build 2002062008

Blank SideBar opens when mail/news is started even though View / Hide / SideBar
is enabled. Hitting F9 twice makes it disappear.

100% reproducible.

This was caused by a bad patch in bug 144141.

I don't see that look in Linux and winNT here. The fix for 144141 is to open the 
folder pane if it's closed from the previous session so that the thread pane 
can be loaded with msgs. Looks like the default width of the folder pane is 
wrong somehow in some cases. I'll look more into this.

The patch of bug 123719 does fix the problems of bug 144141 so we don't need the  
last patch of bug 144141. Backing out the last patch of bug 144141 should fix 
this problem.

Actually, the fix is to stop the folder pane view being null, unfortunately that
error is hidden so you need to use the JS debugger to track it down.

That's because it's not the folder pane that you're opening, it's the sidebar,
and the folder pane doesn't always live in the sidebar.

Moot in trunk, no longer a sidebar for mail/news.
Works ok using oct31 commercial branch.
