sidebar resize bug

Noscript is interfering with my resizing the firefox sidebar. With noscript enabled, I can drag the sidebar border to _narrow_ the sidebar but cannot drag the sidebar border to _widen_ the sidebar; I am unable to make the sidebar bigger than it starts (though I can grow back to that size if I've shrunk from it). I've confirmed that this problem goes away if I disable noscript, then returns when I reenable. I'd like to provide more information to help debug the problem, but nothing is showing in the error console and I don't know where else to look. Advice appreciated!

I've tried with the bookmarks sidebar, and it works exactly the same on a clean profile and on a profile with NoScript installed.
Maybe it's another extension conflicting with NoScript: could you perform Standard Diagnostic while keeping NoScript enabled?

I've been trying to disable and enable various extensions in various orders and am getting terribly inconsistent results. I fear we may be looking at a conflict between more than 2 extension, where the combinatorics get awful. I'm assuming the sidebar failure is throwing an error _somewhere_; is there any way for me to get my eye on that thrown error?

You can set the javascript.options.showInConsole about:config pref to true, then watch Tools|Error Console for error (red) messages.
In the case that the error is thrown but caught, you can still see it if you use the Venkman JavaScript debugger (option "Trace errors"), but it will get quite noisy and messy.
