User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/116.0
Steps to reproduce:
- Uncheck "Folder Pane Header"
- Switch to a new tab
Actual results:
The folder pane header is back, but it's still unchecked in View > Folders.
To fix it, you must either restart Thunderbird or do a "For each tab, check and uncheck the option" dance.
Expected results:
The state change should also propagate to non-active tabs.
(Honestly, I suspect the real bug (and probably a contributor to my other bug report about 115 being much more sluggish) is wasting RAM and CPU cycles on having a new copy of the folder list widget for each tab instead of just playing a little fast and loose with how the tab bar and its content pane are positioned relative to each other.)

Tabs are rearchitected and no longer a hack. Each tab is now truly has it's own data and state. So a new tab inherits (to some extent) the state of the tab from which it originated, but existing tabs do not change state.
Wontfix?

Indeed, each tab is now a separate document, and we're not currently offering the ability to hide the sidebar header pane in the calendar or tasks tab.
Nonetheless, we won't offer a "1 change affects all tabs" option because different contexts.
