User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b4pre) Gecko/2008021204 Minefield/3.0b4pre

A column dividers should be present, and in the proper location, when splitters are specified.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools > Options > Applications -> the column widths cannot be resized

Steps to Reproduce using test extension:
1. load the emptysidebar.xpi (the sidebar will not be empty it will contain several trees)
2. View > Sidebar > Navigation
	Starting with:
		<xul:tree id="splitterworkstreebox" flex="1" seltype="single">
		  <xul:treecols>
			<xul:treecol id="LinkText" label="treechildren not added" flex="1"/>
			<xul:splitter class="tree-splitter"/>
			<xul:treecol id="" label="Splitter functions" flex="2"/>
		  </xul:treecols>
		</xul:tree>
	The splitter appears, one is able to resize the coulmns.

	The splitter does not appear when <xul:treechildren> is added in a xul file.
	The splitter does not appear when <xul:treechildren> is created via javascript.
	* in both of these cases the splitter seems to be positioned after all of the columns before the column options button.

	If the <xul:tree> and the <xul:treechildren> are both created via javascript the spiltter works.

Actual Results:  
The column widths cannot be resized.

Expected Results:  
A divider should be present when a splitter is specified.

Attachment: a simple extension (.xpi) that creates a side bar with several trees

Using the extension will make is easy to see the issue.

One must specity the ordinal attribute on the treecols and splitters, otherwise all of the splitters come after all of the treecols not in the order in which you place them in your file.
