137763 - Cursor sticks in busy state even when nothing is going on

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Backend, defect)

Description

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

branch build 4/14/02, osx, IMAP mail.

after using mail for about 20 minutes or so, the cursor will stick in the 'busy'
state even when the mail client isn't doing anything. the only way to get it out
of this state once it's in it is to close teh mail window altogether. loading
mail or fetching new mail doesn't clear it on its own.

this is a fairly big usability problem since the user thinks the client is still
doing something.

this started happening recently, i'm sure it's a regression.

This happens to me sometimes when I click on a folder.
Mozilla is doing nothing, but the busy cursor is there.

I cannot reproduce this problem on Mac OSX 05-23-05-1.0.0 branch build
Mike, can you try on the latest branch build again?
Also, my Mac OSX is 10.1.3, how about yours?
Can you provide more specific steps before you get the busy cursor since I
cannot reproduce this problem without doing anything for 20 minutes......
