I think you might be talking about #1812

[ksze]

@azizLIGHT My symptoms are a bit different, I think. My sidebar does display, with the tabs; It's just that the sidebar keeps reloading after displaying the tabs, so it cycles from the animated blob, to showing tabs, to showing the animated blob again, and keeps repeating like that.

[azizLIGHT]

@ksze Oh yeah that is different. The issue I linked just reloads the sidebar forever without any glimpse of the tabs. Sorry!

Same problem

I also started having this problem. I fixed it with the reverse solution that @mr-brunes used for a similar issue, #1812

I had previously enabled debug mode and disabled optimize tree restoration with cache due to #1754

Re-enabling optimize tree restoration with cache immediately fixed this issue (#1818) for me. I'm not yet sure if this causes #1754 to come back. Re-disabling optimize tree restoration with cache immediately causes TST to go back into the infinite reload loop.

I hope I don't have to choose between "TST only lets me interact with tabs 1 out of every 5 seconds" and "TST messes with the hierarchy of my tabs".

I am also seeing this over the past couple of days on 58.0.2 with tst 2.4.17. I had also been hit with #1754 and had disabled the tree cache optimization. Re-enabling it kills the infinite loop of reloading the tab tree. I've opened a few tabs and the tree hasn't been mismanaged yet. Here's to hoping it stays that way.

Unfortunately, enabling optimize tree restoration with cache did cause #1754 to come back for me. Turning it off caused TST to go into the reload loop, and turning it back on caused the loop to stop, and the tabs to be shown in a sane order. (This time, anyway.) However, there are now some tabs that I can click on but that TST won't switch to.

I was having this same problem. I managed to fix it (knock on wood) by turning off the cache, and then reordering the trees with the tabs that are broken while cache is enabled. That seems to have forced it to recalculate things and now it no longer reloads over and over while the cache is disabled.

I've noticed that the laundry list of problems (out of order tabs, tabs you can't click on to switch to or close, disappearing tabs) all happen after I move tabs to another window and then back to the main window again

+1 on this, had the issues on a new install right after moving a tree to a new window, something weird happened which undid it and then doing it again.

-1 I don't believe mine had anything to do with a different window. I almost never open a second window.

Does this still happen with the latest development build?

I close this because outdated.
