573847 - Part of today's history vanishes from history UI

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Ian Neal]

Steps to reproduce:
1/ Open History UI (Go -> History or Ctrl-H)
2/ Expand Today
3/ Look for page you have previously visited
4/ Switch to browser window
5/ Go to that page
6/ Switch back to History UI and look at tree

Expected Result
1/ All of today's history is displayed

Actual Result
1/ All entries after the page you have visited are missing and are blank lines instead
2/ Error console contains the message:
Error: parent is null
Source File: chrome://communicator/content/history/treeView.js
Line: 253

It might just be on links that redirect to another page that is also in the history.

Closing and re-opening the History UI fixes the issue.

http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/suite/common/history/treeView.js#253 makes me wonder how it can end up being null at this point without causing an error earlier on.
