205036 - Sidebar reopens spontaneously on buglist refresh after testing bug

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect)

Description

[Sterling Bates]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

I opened the sidebar to test bug 205033, tried to reproduce steps in that bug,
then closed the sidebar using the X in the top-right corner.  I went back to
today's buglist, hit refresh, the sidebar reopened, and reopens every time I
refresh.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Test bug 205033 in a new tab (open url hist window, open sidebar, etc)
2. Close sidebar, close bug tab
3. Refresh today's buglist

Actual Results:  
Sidebar reopens, though with the Search tab active.

Expected Results:  
Not opened the sidebar.

It only occurs when the buglist is refreshed.  Any other website does not
reproduce this behavior.

It also occurs in every instance of Mozilla opened thereafter (until all
instances are closed...then I have to do the steps again to reproduce).

What is your setting in edit\preferences\Navigator\Internet Search\[ ] Open the
search Tab in the sidebar... ?

Comment 3

It's enabled.  Keep in mind, though, that the sidebar doesn't open at all on 
bugzilla until I reproduce the steps given.

Comment 4

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

that means something were broken before and it's now working as expected

Comment 5

[Sterling Bates]

Uhhh, fill me in here.  I've never seen the sidebar open in bugzilla, and now 
it _only_ happens when I test the bug.  What's the "working as expected" part?

Comment 6

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

That the sidebar opens on a bugzilla query because you have the pref enabled and
bugzilla is a search Engine in the sidebar.

Comment 7

[Sterling Bates]

So what you're saying is that I should file a bug that the sidebar doesn't open 
right away when I arrive at bugzilla, correct?  I'm not trying to be difficult 
here, I just don't see the connection between "it only shows up when I do weird 
stuff" and "it's doing exactly what it should."
