127024 - [RFE] Full Screen mode needs a progress bar

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 126720

(Core :: XUL, enhancement)

Description

[Ayo]

There needs to be some sort of implementation of a progress bar in Full screen
mode so the user knows when a page is fully loaded.  It doesn't need to be big.
I suggest if they don't add status bar it should reside under the "minimuze,
restore and close" buttons of the full screen window and it should be a little
bar. If I had any coding abilities I would offer my help.  

If this can't be done at least the throbber should convulge or do whatever it
does when a page is loading to be some type of indicator.  
I'm just writing this bug to inform you, but I know the Full Screen is still a
work in progress. Keep up the good work and I'll keep up the rigorous testing.

I agree that a progress bar would be great, and I also like the idea of using
the throbber for this, but a bar would also be good. It's true that the
fullscreen mode is still in progress, but i like (and use more) the current
implementation much better than the one some time ago, even if the current
fullscreen mode gives me many visual glitches.

Anyway, I'm confirming this bug, adding [RFE] in summary and changing severity
to reflect the change.

XP Toolkit/Widgets, --> hewitt.

This could be closed as a dupe of bug 126720.

marking this a duplicate of 126720 because the solution to that bug is the same
as this one - making important status bar items visible while in full screen.
