broken in all skins.
Yeah, this seems pretty bad. Mike, would you attach you panels.rdf and localstore.rdf from you profile directory?
i deleted my panels.rdf to see if that would help and it never came back. that seems like a possible problem. i guess this profile is now just hosed. i'll try attaching my panels.rdf from my windoze box

Did deleting your profile bring back the sidebar?
yes, deleting my profile brought back the sidebar.
This has been around for at least the last 3 or 4 days on Linux. When I first noticed this bug, I also noticed the following error message: JavaScript error: line 0: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER) [nsIRDFService.GetDataSource]" nsresult: "0x80004003 (NS_ERROR_INVALID_POINTER)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://communicator/content/sidebar/sidebarOverlay.js :: sidebar_overlay_init :: line 503" data: no]
ok, with my new profile, i surfed around for a while, played with the sidebar, closed it, surfed some more, etc...then went to check tinderbox so I opened up the sidebar again and... the tinderbox panel was blank. I switched to bookmarks...also blank! All the panels are blank now.

I can bring some precisions (I've reported the bug 51271 marked as dup and I finaly understood what happens): 1) launch mozilla 2) if sidebar is open (all is right, panels are visible), close it 3) push CTRL+N (open a new window) -> sidebar of the new window is closed (as it should be). 4) open the sidebar -> expected: panels are visible -> actual: only panels title are visible, there's no content in panels 5) push CTRL+N (open a new window) -> sidebar of the last window is open (as it should be) and panels are visible (unlike 4)!!! 6) close the sidebar of the last window 7) goto 3) and it continues (panels are right in 5, panels are empty in 4)... I think that we can insert "close mozilla, open mozilla" after any of those points because the state of sidebar is remembered. =>> If a browser window is open, where the last remembered state of the sidebar is "open", the sidebar is right, but if the last state is "closed", when we open it, panels are empty! (My Mozilla is build 2000090321 for linux). (I hope I have been clear, excuse me for my bad English!)

For reasons unknown, I see the sidebar functioning properly on all my builds (2000090508m18). I launch fine with both skins and still see no problems.
still doesn't work for me on Linux 2000090508.
Nav triage team: [nsbeta3+]; this is really bad.
Priority: P3 → P1
I can repo this using the instructions from Laurent RINEAU on 2000-09-04 04:36. Running 2000090508 on win98.
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
I have a fix I hope to check in today.
Putting on [dogfood+] radar.

I am seeing this bug as well, on 2000090704 on Windows NT, and on the latest builds I've been trying on Linux. All I see is the sidebar and the My Sidebar header. If I customize the bar to add or remove items, no good, nothing happens. If I open up the JavaScript console and attempt to show or hide the sidebar, or add or remove items from the sidebar using the sidebar customization, no messages appear in the console at all. This state of affairs has been present for the last week or so, under all skins, etc. I realize that I'm not adding anything to the discussion here, as it sounds like you're at the point of being able to replicate this bug, but I'll keep checking the nightly builds on my WinNT box and Linux box fwiw.
I checked in a fix.

Thank you for the fix. All is right now with build 2000090721 on linux.

This is not fixed for me in 2000090808 NT.. I still have no tabs at all in my sidebar, even if I use the customize sidebar menu to add or remove tab definitions.
Jonathan, would you attach your localstore.rdf and panels.rdf files from your profile? That will help me track it down. T
Yes, I'll get those to you Monday when I get back in to work.
linux 2000090906 - clean install, fresh profile, new RH glibc 2.1.3-21 Sidebar initially displayed but after unchecking it in view/sidebar and later restarting moz, it was again empty in the browser. It displays ok when turned on/off in mailnews however.
I was one of those duplicate reports on the list. On build 2000090908 for Win NT everything appears to be working perfectly. I ran through the same process that R.K.Aa did for Linux, and was unable to produce a failure on NT. I have not wiped clean my profile from before the problem showed up until present. In short, everything looks about perfect on NT without doing anything special.
Okay, I've added attachments for my localstore.rdf (labeled 'Broken sidebars, 2000090808 NT') and my panels.rdf ('panels.rdf, broken sidebar 2000090808 NT'). As per my comments, I still get no sidebar tabs in the sidebar.
You attached panels.rdf twice. I will try it out, but looks ok. Would your try another time to attach your localstore.rdf?
I checked in some more changes to handle the case of pinkertons's localstore.rdf. Jonathan, there is a chance that you are running into the same problem. If you see that sidebar-panels has a hidden attribute set to true, then it is the same problem.
Okay, I've posted my localstore.rdf, still no sidebars in 2000091108 NT.
forgot to reopen this...
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Resolution: FIXED → ---
I checked in changes for Jonathan's case on 9/11, so I would expect the 9/11 build to still be broken. The panels should appear in a more recent build. Marking fixed again.

I was unable to repro this bug using today's builds(09/14). Jonathan, could you see if this is fixed for you too? Marking VERIFIED. Pls reopen if this problem still persists.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Yup, I confirm it as fixed on Linux and NT.
