Details

When opening a new window from File-> New Navigator Window, the new window pops up with the sidebar and all the "twisty" menubars fully expanded, even when the parent window had them collapsed (as the user intended them to be.) This behavior should track the existing Navigator, which keeps the twisties the way they were found in the parent window.
this was in M10, Build ID 1999100618 on WinNT4 sp 5.

Resetting QA contact from leger.
Which twisties are you talking about? Are they in a particular panel?
all of the menubars at the top of the window (the location bar, the "File" "Edit" et al menu) can have the thumbs on the left side of the window clicked, they then "twist" and collapse to a few pixels high to free up more screen real estate for the webpage to be rendered in. Additionaly, the sidebar also resets to its default, instead of inheriting its state from the parent window.
Severity: enhancement → normal
Priority: P3 → P2
Summary: New Window should maintain sidebar and twisty state from parent window → Toolbar collapse state should persist
Target Milestone: M15
OS: Windows NT → All
Hardware: PC → All
this bug is also present in my Solaris 2.6 build of M11.
Hmm... This may be related to bug 16516.
This *does* very much like bug 16516, except that that bug focuses on persistence of the sidebar state, and this bug focuses on the persistence of the toolbars' expanded/collapsed state. The fix for bug 16516 may fix this bug; it's probably worth checking to see if that's true once the sidebar state is reliably saved across sessions AND new windows.
