207824 - Personal toolbar buttons disappear if toolbar was displayed when browser last closed

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 204022

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[David Moles]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

If the Personal Toolbar was displayed the last time Mozilla was open,
the next time it is opened, while the PT will display, the buttons
on the PT will not -- you get a flat little toolbar about 10 pixels
high with no buttons. Expanding and collapsing the PT has no effect;
neither does turning the toolbar on and off in the view preferences. 
However, if you set the view preferences to hide the PT, quit Mozilla,
reopen it again, and then set the preferences to show the PT, it
works fine. (You have to remember to hide it again before quitting,
though, or you'll have the same problem.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgraded from Mozilla 1.2 to Mozilla 1.4b.
2. Opened Mozilla, browsed happily (including links on personal toolbar)
3. Closed Mozilla.
4. Repeat for several days (this is the baffling part -- see "additional info").
5. Reopened Mozilla.

Actual Results:  
Buttons on personal toolbar missing.

Expected Results:  
Buttons on personal toolbar not missing.

I'm using the Modern theme, Mac OS X 10.2.5, on a 667MHz TiBook.

For some time I've been using 1.4b happily without experiencing
this problem, and I'm not sure why it suddenly started happening.
The only thing I can think of is that until today I may not have
restarted the box since installing 1.4b, and today may have been
the first time using it after a full restart. I noticed a couple
of other odd behavior changes (such as: when I first installed
1.4b, placing it in the dock created a generic application icon,
not a Mozilla icon, but opening it the browser created a Mozilla 
icon in the "open documents" section of the dock; now, while the 
icon is still generic, opening the browser no longer creates a
"document" icon separate from the application icon) today as well,
so possibly when it =was= working I was still using some 1.2 libs
that were unloaded or deleted on restart.
