Venkman 0.9.87 used on Firefox 1.5.0.4

The "Call Stack" is a subwindow in the left panel window of Venkman used to view the script stack.  These subwindows in the panel can be moved with the mouse cursor left button drag and also closed and opened by a toggle through the menu command View->Show/Hide-><name of subwindow>.  When Call Stack is moved or closed and re-opened while in the middle of a thrown error or exception, the text of all lines showing the stack disappear;  actually they appear for a second on a subwindow re-open, then disappear.

Other conditions were not tested.  For example, does this only occur when Venkman has stopped a script that encounters an error/exception, or does it also occur during script stepping?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a script that causes an error or exception, perhaps 3-4 stack levels deep.  Take note of lines of text composing stack.
2. View->Show/Hide->Call Stack to toggle window closed
3. Repeat #2 to re-open Call Stack window
4. Are lines of text in Call Stack still visible?  Did they appear maybe for a few milliseconds, then disappear?

1. Perform step 1 above to generate error in script.
2. Use mouse cursor to drag the Call Stack window to a new location in the left panel of subwindows in Venkman.
3. Did the lines of text in Call Stack disappear as explained in step 4 above.
Actual Results:  
Lines of text in the stack frame of the Call Stack subwindow of venkman disappear

Expected Results:  
The display of the lines of text in the Call Stack subwindow should show the stack so long as a script is active, and whether or not it has thrown an error/exception.

Closing and opening Venkman appears to restore the function of the Call Stack again.  When these actions are done on the re-opened application, the problems with the Call Stack re-occur.

This is a general problem with the floating windows, see bug 295275.
