Hey folks,
Here I am back again, happy with a solution for a problem. This problem bugged me since last few weeks. The RTM task pane just would not appear in Gmail.
Here’s what I use:
- Firefox 3.0.1
- Remember The Milk for Gmail 1.0.3
- Better Gmail 2 0.6.1
- Stylish 0.5.7
- Greasemonkey 0.8.20080609.0
So today I seek help from the awesome RTM support page and figure out that the source of this problem is Gmail Labs. If I disabled the Google Labs temporarily, the problem did get solved. You too can try that by clicking here. Don’t worry, this won’t mess with any of your Gmail settings, it will just disable Labs temporarily. But I could not give up on Labs totally, and started testing which Lab features messed up RTM for Gmail… Here are my test results, the following Labs features if enabled, won’t allow the RTM task pane to appear:
- Fixed width font
- Signature tweaks
- Go to label
Comment below if any other Labs feature is disabling the RTM task pane.
Currently I am using only the following Labs features:
- Superstars
- Forgotten Attachment Detector
The only feature I miss after disabling it is Signature tweaks… but yeah, making RTM Gmail work again is worth that. :)
Update:
Try doing Ctrl+F5 (shortcut in Firefox for refresh+cache flush) once you save the Labs settings… or if occasionally the task pane does not appear again.
Update 2:
That wasn’t the sure-shot solution to the problem :( I have emailed RTM for help to solve this. If you happen to have a solution, please post it.
