80850 - alt 3 pane: settings are not remembered

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 54885

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Kent]

In MailNews I move the dividing bar between the folder/newsgroup pane.  This
location is not remembered between sessions.  Also, I turn off the message pane
via the View menu and this is not remembered between sessions.  Finally, it
takes selecting View->Message twice to turn the message pane off.

I see this a lot in the Better Three Pane Window (or alt for the uneducated).  
Confirming.  Lately, it seems like everytime I start up, the splitter between 
the folders and the message list has been moving gradually to the left, slowly 
covering up the folders.

the original bug report covers two problems.

I am using this configuration:

+++++++
+  +  +
+++++++
+     +
+++++++

Also, I am not seeing the problem described by [e-mail]  The splitter
evenly divides the MailNews window for messages and folders.  I move it to the
left to give more room to messages.  It is this change that is not remembered.
