(I doubt the component is correct in this case)
Build ID 2000-042509 M16 Linux
Selecting inputbox in sidebars search-tab and then hiding sidebar leads to a
crash.

Steps to reproduce:
-start moz
-select sidebar tab "search"
-click once in box where search-word is filled in
-on top toolbar menu: select "View" and uncheck display of sidebar
-crash

This is with a new profile. Happens each time.

I can't repro this in a new build. I can't even repro this in the 2000042509 mozlla opt build. could you give this another try?

Comment 4

[R.K.Aa.]

odd. Given it 8 tries and each time it crashes. Try:
-clicking below the search engines first
-then in the inputbox again
-then view/unselect sidebar
-if it didn't crash already: click another menuitem on toolbar - any.

For some reason i'm able to crash this with all kind of combinations, as long as
the inputfield in the searchtab has been clicked in first.

oops - FIRST click in inputfield - THEN below engines - and then in input field
*again* before you hide sidebar

i deleted the whole install and ~.mozilla dir and reinstalled.
Tested the "routine" without having changed any pref or even set up mail
account. Same crash.

select search in sidebar
raise the sidebar a little so you see "under" the search engines
click there
select "view" and uncheck sidebar
the next menuitem i click on on toolbar now makes moz crash

New test: now unchecking sidebar when still "selected" - crash again.

still no love. Can you make this crash with any other sidebar panel? like another panel with an edit field? cc'ing shrir, maybe he 
can repro cuz i sure can't.

OK:
-Select tinderbox in sidebar
-drag sidebar up so you see a nice amount of white space below the items in
tinderbox
-place cursor on the white space, click and drag to right or left
-notice that text in the last line of tinderbox gets selected
-click "view" and deselect "view sidebar"
-crash

Same backtrace.

Selecting text in sidebar's tinderbox and then deselecting "view sidebar" still
causes a crash that's 100% reproducable here.

been testing this now and then and it still crashed. But in build 2000-060221
M16 Linux it suddenly doesn't crash anymore. Crossing fingers and toes. I'll
keep and eye on this one and set WFM if it stays healthy for a few more. Btw.. i
think it was a selection bug, not searh.

Still no more crashes.
But when i select text in tinderbox and then toggle sidebar off by unchecking
sidebar in"View" menu - and then click in the page, i get this:
JavaScript error:
line 0: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
