+Subject: [PATCH] impress constantly trying to create an internal SidebarView
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+I think since the sidebar was integrated that this is dead
+code belonging to the sidebars impress-only ancestor
+
+Nothing creates the SidebarView[1], so attempt fails, a failed attempt
+is scheduled in to try again on a configuration update timer
+
+configuration update timer fails to load missing SidebarView
+but broadcasts configuration update on each attemp
+
+when the presenter console gets a configuration update it
+refreshes its ui by loading the current slide
+
+if the current slide has notes and those notes are long enough
+to be scrolled and the user has scrolled to the end, then when the
+slide is reloaded the notes are at the top again.
+
+So presenter console notes scroll to the top after 5 seconds because
+the configuration update fired, because the previous configuration
+update didn't work.
+
+This is old lady that swallowed a fly level stuff
+
+[1] and I think its a typo here anyway and msSidebarViewURL should have
+been msSidebarPaneURL
