43320 - Hiding sidebar causes scrollbar to dissapear

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 30548

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect, P3)

Description

[Clay Collier]

Build: Milestone 16 (ID 2000061311)
Steps to Reproduce:
1)Load a page that is too wide to display on the screen with the sidebar
showing, but would fit in one screen if the sidebar was gone.
2)Make sure the sidebar is selected as on in the view menu, and that it is
extended to its usual width.
3)Scroll as far to the right as possible, so that the page elements on the far
left hand side are not visable.
4)From the view menu, uncheck the sidebar element, causing the sidebar to vanish
Expected Results:
The sidebar should dissapear, and the page should now be visable in a single
screen, with the horizontal scrollbar gone
Results:
The sidebar dissapears, as does the scrollbar.  But the page remains with the
same visable elements as before showing, and white space on the righ margin.
The elements on the left hand side are no longer visable, and there is no way to
view them now that the scrollbar is gone.
I'm attatching a cheesy HTML file I built in Composer to test this.  I could
only test it on my machine at work, so if the effect cannot be recreated, try
altering the file as follows:
With your screen maximized and the sidebar turned off in composer, add or remove
'g's from the file until the words 'test' are repeated at both ends of the page,
and there is no scroll bar.  When the scroll bar is gone and adding a single
character will cause it to appear, the file should be ready.
Load it, and move all the way to the right.  When the sidebar is turned off, you
should not be able to get to the words 'test' that are on the left hand side.
