59076 - Search MySidebar re-appears on search despite un-ticking in View menu

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 56969

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect, P3)

Description

[Adam Kennedy]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001031
BuildID:    2000103104

When a search is made in google ( and presumably the other searches ), MySidebar
will pop out with the search. It does this not only for a search when the
sidebar is minimised, but when the sidebar is fully closed( by un-ticking
View->My Sidebar )

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Go to www.google.com with sidebar closed ( not just minimised ).
Run a search

Actual Results:  sidebar re-opens itself

Expected Results:  sidebar stays closed

This is possibly an interface design issue rather than a straight bug, but it
seems wrong that the Preferences->Navigator->Internet Search->Open sidebar on
Search... preference would overide the View->My Sidebar menu option.

It would certainly be expected that doing a search would un-minimise a minimised
sidebar and show search results, but if a user has totally closed the sidebar,
rather than minimising it, I would have expected that the sidebar would not
re-open itself on a search.

Adam, FYI : search is a seperate component.
