AEM6 sidekick is missing from the classic UI

hi, i have new installation of AEM6 with all the content and code updated. but our clients want to stay with old UI with the sidekick there and i found out that if i switch it via the new tool bar to the classic UI, the sidekick is nowhere can be seen and not every component can be edited.

the url is like this. http://xxxx:4502/cf#/content/practice.html

but if i remove the cf# to http://xxxx:4502/content/practice.html

the sidekick shows up and all components are editable again. i wonder why? and is there anyway that i can make the sidekick to show up again on that content edit page?

thanks

shu

I have tested this by switching from new toolbar to classic UI. I don't see any issue. I tried geometrixx website and our custom website, I can easily switch without any problems and can edit any components and use sidekick. Please check out of box sites and try your application, look for any errors in firefox or chrome. If not try fresh install and apply hotfix.

thanks for the answers. i open up a ticket with adobe help. but here is what i found. if you have a var name in js, it will break the sidekick in the content finder.

the simple way to test is simply having <script>var name="x";</script> in the jsp page or any js file. i need to rename my var name to something else to fix this issue.
