100277 - no visualisation when quick-launching an application

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: QuickLaunch (AKA turbo mode), defect)

Description

[Erik]

Environment:
=============
OS: WinNT 4.0 SP5
Mozilla BuildID:    2001091303



Summary:
=========
if you quick launch an application (independent which one) there's no visible
indication whether the action is currently performing or not

Reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce:
====================
1. Start Mozilla Navigator with quick launch feature enabled in preferences

2. Close Mozilla Navigator => Navigator window closes and mozilla icon is
visible in system tray

3. right click on mozilla icon => choose any application to launch out of
context menu



Actual Results:  
================
Mouse cursor stays like the default one (e.g. arrow)!



Expected Results:  
==================
At least the hour glass should be shown while the application is beeing quick
launched as otherwise the user has no feedback whether the action is really
performing in the background or not!

Getting from the back-end code that opens the file to the UI code that can 
change the cursor is too hard.

Quicklaunch/Turbo Mode is no longer supported in Seamonkey 2 and Seamonkey1.X is in the maintenance mode (fixing only security bugs)
