29542 - sidebar link to tinderbox "SeaMonkey as of x/x x:xx" clobbers current page in history.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect, P3)

Description

[Joseph Elwell]

I'm using winNT build 2000022808 (M15 nightly).
For some reason clicking on the link to tinderbox in the sidebar (under the
Tinderbox tab) causes the page that is in history, currently, to be overwritten
with the tinderbox page.
To reproduce:
1)Launch Mozilla
2)If you don't have a start page load http://www.mozilla.org/
3)Open your sidebar to the Tinderbox tab.
4)click on "SeaMonkey as of x/x x:xx".
5)wait for it to load - completely.
6)Take a look at your "Go" menu and notice that the first page is gone.

If you keep the "Go" menu open during step 5 you can actually watch mozilla
replace the text of the last page with the tinderbox page.

Note: bookmarks/search and what's related work fine though.

This could be a sidebar issue rather than history....

sidebar tinderbox panel is doing a target load in the content area. Have to 
debug if docshell's target laoding code breaks SH.

Works for me on Win98.  This bug has been quiet over a year, so marking WFM.
