333510 - Contacts Sidebar comes up empty

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Scott MacGregor]

Not sure when this regression first started.

If you have the contacts sidebar open in the compose window, and you bring up a compose window, the address book is selected but entries aren't displayed. Oddly enough, quick search within the sidebar does show the results in the results pane.

the problem is specific to cached compose windows.

Comment 3

[Scott MacGregor]

This was caused by Bug 321254. when we open a cached compose window, we end up calling AbPanelOnComposerClose()  which closes the abview on the contacts panel.
