88516 - New subscribe typedown has some weird side-effects

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 88499

I tried this new feature, and it works very well! 

Except for this:

When the search field is empty, the tree looks bad (as usual) with the
disaligned columns and all that. But when I type something in, the entire tree
switches to something else - some kind of tree with a columnpicker, and the
columns gets the right align.

Why is this?  Is it possible that making this type-down-only tree be there
always to fix the columns-disaligned problem?

It looks particularly bad that it switches to an entirely different tree when
you type something. It gives the impression of an "unstable" UI.

Dup of bug 88499?

Comment 3

[timeless]

from bug 86200.
note, because I'm using a deck widget that contains the tree and an outliner 
you'll notice some UI issues.   namely:

1)  the tree looks a little different than the outliner (notice the border 
colors)
2)  the column headers won't match up.

these will get fixed once the tree is removed and dialog is completely 
implemented with an outliner.  but that's futured.

Re-opening. This is a DUP of my bug 88499, which will remain open until Seth
dups it.  The tracker bug is useful for tracking these individual issues, not
just duping generically against.

This is a dup, and will get fixed when outliner lands (I re-opened my bug on 
that), verifying it's a dup of the bug I filed.
