138648 - Installer progress meter redraw problem

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 11210

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Malcolm Scott]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0rc1)

BuildID:    2002041711

When the lower progress meter switches from the "block bouncing back-and-forth"
type to the "percentage-complete" type (i.e. from the one used when "Preparing"
files to the one used when "Copying" files), both types can appear
simultaneously for an instant (i.e. the block got two-thirds of the way along
the progress bar, then stayed there as another progress bar came to meet it).
See attached screenshot.

This has happened every time I've installed Mozilla on Windows for as long as I
can remember; this is the first time I've managed to get a screenshot quick
enough :-)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run installer
2. When the progress meters appear, watch the lower one carefully (usually
happens for me on the Mail/News installation phase).

Actual Results:  Strange progress bar appeared.

Expected Results:  The "preparing" progress bar should be blanked before the
"copying" one is displayed.

Attachment: Screenshot of problem

Screenshot of installation window in the short time when the incorrect progress
bar is displayed. The right-hand block of the progress bar is stationary; the
left hand portion increases correctly as files are copied. As soon as the
moving progress bar reaches the end, the problem disappears. Probably the
installer doesn't remove the old progress bar before displaying the new one.
