82565 - History Sidebar tab not fully updated when clearing history in prefs

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: History: Global, defect)

Description

[Todd Pringle]

Build ID:  2001052404

Steps to reproduce:

1) Launch Navigator, ensure you have some global history entries
2) Open History sidebar tab
3) Open Edit>Preferences>Navigator>History
4) Click Clear History

Result:

Sidebar tab does not fully update.  Twisties still exist next to empty folders
(though clicking on them doesn't open anything - which is correct).

Expected Result:

Sidebar tab reflects the fact that there are no history entries and does not
have twisties next to any of the folders.  This is the behavior in the History
Management Window.

While closing and reopening the history sidebar does *not* fix this problem,
closing and reopening Navigator does.

yeah, just collapsing the sidebar does not close any of the sidebars, it just
hides them.. you have to use view->My Sidebar to turn off and turn the sidebar
back on.

also, if you collapse and expand a single day, the per-site folders should go away..

This is not a sidebar issue, exactly the same happens with the history window:
try clearing the history while some day folder is expanded; then the servers
remain underneath the day, although empty.

reassigning history bugs to new owner - send this bug back to me if it looks
like something I should fix (such as embedding-related architecture issues),
rather than the actual history owner...

See also bug 145783. Possibly a dupe, or at least, similar enough to fix together.
