Simple use of a spitter: <titledbutton/><splitter/><titledbutton/>
496 bytes, text/plain
Details 
On Linux-only, sometimes when you click on the grippy to close the sidebar, the
sidebar fills the entire screen (the splitter goes off the window).

This is not all that easy to reproduce, on the sidebar, but I made a simpler
testcase where it happen more readily (see attachment).

I originally suspected an interaction between iframes and boxes, but my testcase
does not use any iframes. If fact, the only box is from the <window> tag.

This causes the entire browser window to go blank. Just about as bad as a crash.
Workaround is to open a new window (if you know where to click for the menu
since is doesn't show anymore).

Can't seem to repoduce this. Does this happen anymore with the current build? 
If not can you close it out?

Ok I have reproduced this. It is linix only. Have no idea why. But I'm looking 
at it.

We need a status update on this.  It is also critical to understand how easy 
this is to reproduce, how obvious the workaround (if any) when it hits is, etc.
Thanks,
Jim
removing PDT+ for reconsideration.  This is an obscure bug that few people are 
seeing, even when they try to reproduce it.  It should not be marked critical 
severity since there is no crash, data loss or severe leak.  There is even a 
workaround.  Who would really hold a first Preview Release for this?
