Overview Description: Unable to see 'Personal Address Book' & 'Collected Addresses' upon relaunch of Address Book in the same session. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch AddressBook using Task | AddressBook. 2. Now you will see 'Personal Assress Book' and entries contained in it. 3. Close AddressBook and relaunch AddressBook using Task | AddressBook. You will not see the 'Personal Assress Book' & 'Collected Addresses' directory. Note: Don't close Apprunner/Messenger in step 3 above and start addressbook. The bug occurs only in the Same Session. Build Date & Platform Bug Found: 8/30/99 Windows Debug build. I pulled the tree aroung 9.00 AM. Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On: 1999-08-30-10-M10, Windows release build.
Suresh - possibly related to the bug you filed on tree expand/collapse against hyatt?
Lisa - Yep! Both the bugs (12811) Could be related. Esther is seeing the same thing on Linux also.
After Candice determines that it's the same problem, we should close this bug and add comments to the other bug.
I've seen the same problem last week, not on the relaunch but on the first time opening the address book. The address book back end has given the RDF the right information. I can't tell what's the problem, but it sure looks similar to bug 12811. I think we should recheck this one when bug 12811 has fixed.
bug 12811 is fixed and I am still seeing this problem in today's debug build.
I've double checked with address book RDF code. The information passed (GetTarget, GetTargets) to RDF is correct, the uri is fine too. I found when click in the tree, the uri is display as "dirTree" in the JS dump code. cc Hyatt and Waterson to see if they have a better idea.
I doubt these problems are related.
I found if I add a new address book, then all address books show up fine. Waterson, would this help finding the problem?
Whiteboard: [PR1]
I think this needs to be fixed by PR1, so I added a note to the Status Whiteboard
Target Milestone: M11
M11
Blocks: 11091
Since Phil targetted this as M11, I'm adding this to the beta tracking bug.
As of today's build on my NT machine, relaunch will see the entries on the result pane but not the address books. Once I resize the splitter, the directory shows up. It looks like a refresh problem to me.
Clarify on the term address book and directory for my last comment. They mean the entries on left pane of address book window. Now we only have address books, LDAP directory will come post beta.

I will try to triage.

hangas: some of the other tree bugs related to this have been fixed; could you check and make sure that this is still a problem?
Using win98 build dated 19990929 on win98, mac and linux, I still see the problem. 2nd launch of address book in same session doesn't display the Address books in the Directory pane (left side). Still have to use Candice's workaround of adding a New address book in order for the others to display.
I also had this problem yesterday on a Mac debug build.
OS: Windows NT → All
Hardware: PC → All
Linux (1999-10-01-18-m10) This also occurs on Linux M10 build. Mark it All OS.
Using 1999100617M10 commercial build on win98 and 1999100615M10 commercial build on mac this is seems to be fixed with the fix that went in for 13443. I will check linux later and then update this bug. Then recheck with m11 builds.

Resolution: --- → FIXED
Looks like this was fixed by either the <div> wrapped around the tree or the removal of duplicate style sheets. Marking fixed.
QA Contact: lchiang → esther
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
I retested with today's build (1999110509-win32, 1999110508-mac and linux) on all 3 platforms and this is fixed. Note: This should not be confused with bug 17895 for the Results pane not displaying the card. This bug was for the Directory pane where the Address Books were not displaying the 2nd time. This is verfied as fixed.
