153366 - sidebar is empty and is unusable and uncloseable

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect)

Description

[Sergei Kucherov]

After Mozilla 1.0 locked up my WinMe PC computer and forced a power-cycle
(Ctrl-Alt-Del even stopped working),
the sidebar came up empty with no grab thingy to close it.
Search did not write to the sidebar and it used up browser space.

Workaround is to unclick View->Show/Hide->Sidebar,
after which it works normally. I almost decided to re-install
to work around the bug.

Also, it would be more intuitive to always have a grab/click thingy
for the sidebar even when it is hidden (like the other toolbars).
