46595 - Sidebar Search button disabled after show/hide sidebar

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Search, defect, P3)

Description

[Blake Ross]

Build ID: 2000072608 WinNT 4

Steps to Reproduce:
(1) Show My Sidebar (if not already shown)
(2) Switch to the Search tab (if not already the active tab)
(3) Type something in the textfield (e.g. 'test')
(4) Hide My Sidebar (completely, via View | My Sidebar)
(5) Show My Sidebar (via View | My Sidebar, again)

Result:
The Search button is disabled, but it should be enabled since there's still 
text in the textfield.  This likely happens because the button only enabled 
upon keypress in the textfield, and the state of the button doesn't persist 
between hide/show sidebar (why is that, if the text of the textfield 
persists?), so it doesn't know to enable upon reopening the sidebar.  A simple 
check upon loading the Search tab to see if there's text in the textfield (and 
then enabling the button accordingly) would fix this, but I'm not sure if the 
load function for the active tab is called again when the sidebar is hidden and 
then shown.

Netscape nav triage team: as per Matt Fisher's pre-triage recommendation, this
