googlemaps plugin - maps not showing when other element is published

[cyberholic]

Hi there,
i have been trying to help others and opened one thread by myself concerning a problem that occurred
to me with the googlemap plugin. As i have come a big step further, i am opening a new thread to not
mess with the other users postings.

My situation is this: i have a list with ten elements. three of these elements are hidden.
One element is a googlemap.

When all elements are activated, the map of the plugin does not appear, but all the other plugin
relevant stuff (geocode field and button, longlat fields) appear.

When i activate only the googlemap plugin and the three hidden elements, the map appears.
As soon as i publish one of the other element then the map does not appear.

I copied the bootstrap template to my own but did not change any CLASS or ID stuff.
The strange thing is that when i want to edit an entry in the backend the form works like it
does with the map and all the fields.

Any suggestion what could be wrong?

I FOUND IT OUT - at least where the bug is!
I have set up the elements with a "not empty" validation. I have removed all of these and voila: the map shows up!

In short:
if (element.validation is setup){
googlemap.hideThatMapMofo();
}

Now: is this a bug or am i missing anything?
