Maximized or not, the P.T. loads like it has "unconstrained width".

Workaround: (un-)maximize the window.

NB: Iirc, the regression is not recent.

There are several (fixed) Firefox bookmark toolbar chevron bugs. But I don't have the time to look through them to see if any are relevant.

First Windows trunk nightly:
already broken.

Thinking what you are seeing depends on the value of /shell.checkDefaultClient/.

If shell.checkDefaultClient is True, on browser startup, for the first opened window (& tabs within) the chevron does not display.

In subsequently opened windows, the chevron does display.

If you resize the (first) window using the Maximize/Restore Down window icon, then the chevron will appear.

(I did not check this is a SeaMonkey 2.1 build, but this does occur is SeaMonkey 2.0 release & 2.0.1 Candidate Build2.)

Edit | Preferences | Advanced -> System Integration => Check default applications settings on startup


1) Set shell.checkDefaultClient to False
2) Restart browser

Personal Toolbar chevron appears.

3) Set shell.checkDefaultClient to True
4) (do not close the browser &) Open a new window

After dismissing the Default Client dialog, the window loads, but the Personal Toolbar chevron is missing.

Regression:

Broken:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20081202 SeaMonkey/2.0a2pre

Works:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20081201 SeaMonkey/2.0a2pre

So maybe a regression from Bug 453797 ?

Comment 6

Having just installed a 2.1a Trunk, 1.9.3a, I am seeing this on (almost) all windows, not just at startup.

This is a different behavior from what I experienced on 2.0.x & is not affected by the shell.checkDefaultClient setting.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.3a5pre) Gecko/20100422 SeaMonkey/2.1a1pre

(Perhaps this should be a new bug?)

You can also just resize the browser window.

That's what I remember, too. AFAIR this is really old. But as I also remember this did not appaear in some later 2009 builds.

Seeing this also on Linux x86 and x86_64-> changing 'Platform'

This appears to have resolved itself over the last day or so.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b4pre) Gecko/20100817 SeaMonkey/2.1b1pre

(I'll look tomorrow, or so, for a range.)
