Upon each update of the 'Mode Toolbar' location (top or bottom), the Calendar icon(s) get(s) duplicated.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open 'Mode Toolbar' editor
2. Change 'Location'
3. Change 'Location' again, and again, ...
Actual Results:  
Need to manually remove duplicate icons

Expected Results:  
No need to remove duplicate icons
Works for me using Lightning 0.7pre (2007082004) with Thunderbird 2.0.0.7pre (20070820) on Windows 2000. Might be a Trunk only issue.
Confirmed as a TRUNK ONLY issue using Lightning 0.6a1 (2007090806) with Thunderbird 3.0a1pre (2007090904).

Using Lightning 0.7pre (2007090903) with Thunderbird 2.0.0.7pre (20070909) everything is OK.

In contrast to my test results from Comment #2 I now see the issue on MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH too. I found the following regession range:

WORKS in Thunderbird 2.0.0.7pre (2007093003) + Lightning 0.7 (2007102304)
FAILS in Thunderbird 2.0.0.7pre (2007100104) + Lightning 0.7 (2007102304)

Checkins to MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH during regression range:

Most probably also regressed by Bug 267833.

Can someone give me something resembling a minimal testcase that doesn't involve the entire Calendar UI?  Or some pointers to the relevant code, at least?
See [1] for the relevant source code location that handles this particular toolbar. The reason for this rather elaborate handling of the toolbar is that it should be possible to dynamically place this element. Unfortunately, the constructor of the toolbar binding gets called each time the DOM node gets bound to a different parent. That's why I'm touching the internals of the toolbar to get around this problem. It would be great if there's a cleaner solution to the problem...

Oh, I see.  You're modifying the DOM from inside a mutation listener (a no-no if you want sane behavior, for what it's worth).  That means that the constructor won't fire until after your return from the mutation listener and the end of the attribute mutation update.  Presumably that's screwing up your save/restore stuff (as in, you restore too early)?

If it's reasonable to do so, I'd suggest putting most of the code in the mutation listener off on a timeout (except for the "remove the listener" part, pretty much).
Flags: wanted-calendar0.8?
This bug is not important enough to warrant wanted0.8 status. 

We would however take a fix for this bug into 0.8, if such a fix materializes.

Workaround:
1. Customize toolbar. Change toolbar location to 'Top' or 'Bottom' as desired. 
2. Restart Thunderbird.
3. Customize toolbar. Select 'Restore Default Set'.
Attached patch Patch v1 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Don't know exactly why, but after observing WHEN the duplication occurs, this patch works for me in MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH (Windows).

Can anyone please verify this in TRUNC and maybe on other platforms?

Patch v1

Admittedly, I don't understand why this solves the duplication problem. It is necessary it hold a reference to the toolbox palette, then rearrange the dom tree and reassign the reference to the palette. If we don't manually reassign the palette reference, it magically disappears from the tree. I decided to reassign the palette after the tree has been modified. I don't really understand where's the relation to the presumably unrelated other actions in this function. But as it solves this annoying problem I tend to just take the patch for now and investigate the underlying problem later. On top of that, I would like to follow Boris advice and defer the action until the mutation listener has been finished. I'm going to change the patch accordingly before checking it in. Sven, thanks for the patch. r=mickey.
