Yes, all patches are installed.

I looked into the JavaScript myself, and was able to fix the problem.
For some reason the style of the collapsible list is set to a hidden
visibility. I am guessing some javascript is supposed to reverse this at
some point, but fails. Funny thing is, there are no javascript errors in
the firefox java debug window.

In the file /usr/sausalito/ui/web/libJs/collapsibleList.js
The file was dated Dec 12, 2000.

Line 249 has: 
    249   doc.write("<DIV ID=\""+_cList_elementId+"\"
STYLE=\"position:absolute;         visibility:hidden; left:"+_cList_x+";
top:"+_cList_y+";\">");          

I changed the "visibility:hidden" to "visibility:visible", and it works
fine.
I have not seen any adverse effects, testing in both IE 6.0 and firefox
0.8
