50500 - event stops firing after XUL template rebuild

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: RDF, defect, P3)

Description

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

Overview Description:

A "select" handler for a tree populated by a XUL template stops working after
rebuilding the tree.  If I add back the handler it works fine again.  I have
reduced this problem down to a minimal test case which I will attach.

Steps Code Takes in Test Case:

1. Adds "select" handler to tree.
2. Loads a remote datasource with the RDF service's GetDataSource() method.
Watches the progress of the load via nsIRDFXMLSink.
3. When datasource is loaded, adds it to the tree with database.AddDataSource()
and rebuilds the tree with builder.rebuild().

Steps to Observe Problem in Test Case:

1. Click on the items in the tree.  Notice that nothing happens.
2. Click on the "Add Select Handler" button to re-add the event to the tree.
3. Click on the items in the tree.  Notice that an alert message appears.

Actual Results: Select handler doesn't fire (no alert message).

Expected Results: Select handler fires (alert message).

Build Date & Platform Bug Found:

All Windows and Linux nightly builds which I have tried from August 8 to present
time (August 27).
