290584 - Column widths flip to zero when trying to resize them

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 290464

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[walter sheets]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050416
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050416

When trying to change the width of, e.g., the Date or Sender field, the width of
all the colums to the right of 'Subject' instantly shrink to zero and cannot be
restored to normal.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open an email or news account and look at the list of messages
2.Try to change the width of the Date or Sender column
3.

Actual Results:  
The Subject field instantly takes up the whole width of the pane and the rest of
the fields get squashed all the way to the right.
I notice that these abnormal settings get saved when I close the program.
I also notice that I can use an older version of Mozilla to restore the correct
settings.

Expected Results:  
The width of the columns should be smoothly adjustable, as always.

This bug affects all resizable trees (DL Manager, bookmarks manager, etc)
This regressed between linux trunk 2005041405 and CVS 2005041423

With a debug build, I see a lot of:
WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(NS_SUCCEEDED(rv)) failed, file nsTreeBodyFrame.cpp, line
1708


==> trees
