Unable to resize Side Pane (a.k.a., Sidepane or Index Pane) after a common Search (Shift+Ctrl+F)

[Mark Alan]

I have been using Zim for many years and have already reported a couple of glitches to Jaap, but this one is really annoying me.

SYSTEM: Xubuntu 14.04.02, Zim v. 0.62, build 2014-09-30 21:19:55 +0200, revno: '738', .deb downloaded from Zim site.

The BUG:

After restoring a zim notebook from other computer, I remove all zim previous configuration, i.e., ~/Notebooks/Notes/.zim, ~/Notebooks/Notes/notebook.zim ~/.config/zim ~/.cache/zim

After that, doing a simple (Shift+Ctrl+F) Search for any word and then clicking in one of the results, will end in the side pane being automatically resized to a fixed width which cannot be resizd again without stoping Zim and restarting it again.

ZIM DEBUG OUTPUT (zim launched via zim -D):

  DEBUG: Action: show_search
  DEBUG: Opening dialog "Search - Zim"
  INFO: Searching for: sidepane

By the sidepane you mean the left hand pane in the main window with the
index? So you click in the search dialog, and it causes the pane in the
main window to lock it's position. Is that the correct understanding?

Yes, the left hand pane.
I click in the search dialogue and after that I must click in one of the found entries and only then the side pane becomes slimmer and cannot be re-sized again to a more readable width.
This happens in a very consistent way.

The get the normal behaviour I must do this:
1. Purge current zim
 sudo apt-get purge zim
 find "$HOME/" -iname "*zim" -exec rm -fr {} \;
2. Backup my ~/Notebooks folder
 mv -fv "$HOME/Notebooks" "$HOME/Notebooks.old"
3. Install fresh Zim
 sudo dpkg zim_0_62_all.deb # run
4. Run Zim once and get out
5. Update the freshly created ~/Notebooks folder with my old data
rsync -vaun "$HOME/Notebooks.old/" "$HOME/Notebooks/"

Thank you,
JA

I can really not imagine where to even start. There isn't even a connection
in the code between the search dialog and the index pane.

Also I can not imagine how the behavior can be persistent in a way that you
need to re-install the application.

Can you try whether just deleting the ".zim" cache folder in the notebook
is enough to get it unstuck ?
