Details

Minimize the URL bar by clicking on the small triangle to the left of the Back
button. Then restore the bar by clicking on the triangle again. The text of the
URL box is gone.

This is with M11.

Component: Browser-General → XP Toolkit/Widgets
This could easily be due to a general HTML Form Controls bug.  If an input (or,
I assume, an ancestor thereof) is set to have display: none, and then given
display: inline again, the data disappears.

However, there's more than that going on here.  The URLbar becomes unusable once
it is redisplayed (on Linux mozilla 1999-12-02-16-M12).

Therefore, changing component to XPToolkit/Widgets and reassiging.
I filed the HTML Form Controls bug as bug 20771.  However, that may or may not
be part of the cause of this bug.

Target Milestone: M15
20771 is fixed, but this is still broken in today's opt comm build.  reassigning
to pinkerton as p3 for m15.  Evaughan says this can be fixed by using the
collapse property on the box for that toolbar.  cc evaughan.

nisheeth was handling this for us. i can't find an earlier bug of the same ilk
which i assigned to him so i'm passing this on as well. I'm sure it's a dupe.

This is a symtom of the same problem and fix for 16709, should be fixed by
12/15.  Marking this bug Verified/Duplicate.
Status: VERIFIED → REOPENED
This is marked as a duplicate of bug 16709, which is marked as FIXED and
VERIFIED. However, the behaviour described above still happens.

I've noticed
that if you click inside the URL bar, the text of the URL reappears. (Dunno if
it did that before.) So perhaps 16709 kept the URL data somewhere, but some
widget still has to be told to redisplay the value?

I've tested this with M12
and the 1999-12-22 build on Windows 98.
