100012 - (bm-search-slow) Bookmark search results poor UE: slowness, no busy cursor, no distinctive window

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect, P5)

Description

[Peter Trudelle]

Using recent builds on Win98 (with my quarter-meg BM file...)
Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks (.......wait for it...........)
When Manage Bookmarks window eventually appears, choose Edit->Find Bookmarks
type in a search string that will generate a lot of hits, click Find.
Actual: Nothing at all happens for what seems like ages, but if you look REAL
CLOSELY, you'll see the BM window replaced by an identically positioned and
sized Search Results window after about 6 seconds, during which time the app is
entirely unresponsive.
Expected: Search should take less than a second, but if it has to take longer
there should be some type of progress indicator, or at least a busy cursor, and
the ability to put this time to other use.  Finally, the results should be much
more distinct from the BM window, offset and smaller if possible so they don't
hide the entire thing.

Paul Chen is now taking Bookmarks bugs. For your convenience, you can filter 
email notifications caused by this by searching for 'ilikegoats'.

We have Win2000 with NTFS. When searching in the bookmarks, we have to wait over
60 seconds. Also when deleting entries in the download manager window.
