Found whilst I was testing bug 429440 (but not a regression from the bug): - Have the default tab open on a folder; open a message tab and a folder tab. - On the second folder tab, hide the preview pane. - On the first folder tab, unhide the preview pane - note that messages can be displayed normally. - Go back to the second folder tab; the preview pane is not hidden and messages can't be displayed either (you have to hide and unhide the preview pane again). This is a little inconsistent.

I can reproduce this inconsistency but it doesn't seem necessary to open a message tab. just opening a second folder tab seems to be enough. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20081221 Shredder/3.0b2pre ID:20081221031229

This is not good, but I'm not sure we'd block the release of tb3 if this didn't get fixed. Putting as wanted since we definitely want to make this change happen.
