Current trunk CVS, Linux (1.8a3 Gecko/20040721) -With sidebar removed: Start browser from scratch -Hit Alt+PageUp Result: A blank sidebar opens, containing only the background color. Keying Alt+PageUp again has no effect. To make sidebar work it must be closed and then opened a second time. After this, hitting Alt+PageUp repeatedly will cycle through the sidebar tabs Expected: A functional sidebar to open on first attempt, like it does if i hit F9 after a startup

This was already filed once today.... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 213696 ***

To comment 1: No, it wasn't. I discovered this bug when testing bug 252502 - before I resolved it as a dup of bug 252502. As far as I understand it, a working sidebar is supposed to open when using the "Alt+Page Up" key shortcut. Reporter of bug 252502 reports a narrow sidebar opening, but he can see some of the tab headers there. In my browser, however, the sidebar opens with its usual width, but no content. No tabs in sight. They aren't there untill after i close and open the sidebar once again. I think that's a bug. Reopening.

I'm also seeing this (linux/gtk2, current cvs; but this bug exists at least for several weeks)

OS: All. This happens first time i open sidebar with alt+PgUp on WinXP as well. There's some text in the sidebar there: "The sidebar is currently empty. You may add tabs by clicking on the "Tabs" button above. If you would like to completely hide the Sidebar, click on the "View" menu above, and select "Sidebar" from the "Shot/Hide" sub-menu". Clicking the X to close this "empty" sidebar, and then reopen - in any way (alt+PgUP, F9, View->Show/Hide->Sidebar etc) will then open a full and working sidebar, populated with its ordinary set of tabs. There's even one more bug btw.. skin.. the "Tabs" button goes light-grey on mouseover - with white text. Unreadable. Is that reported?..
