151532 - Delay system-tray icon until it is ready to accept mouse-clicks

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

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

Description

[Stephen P. Morse]

When the last window is closed, the browser process is completely shut down and 
then a new browser process is started (that's the turbo model).  As a result, 
the icon in the system tray vanishes (when browser is shut down) and then 
reappears a moment later (as the new browser process is started).  However, if 
that reappearing icon is clicked on too quickly, there will be problems in the 
URL bar.

This was addressed in bug 147223, and the fix was to not accept clicks from that 
icon until the new process reaches a suitable point in its execution 
(specifically, after the initial hidden window is taken down).  But that means 
that we have an icon that is non-clickable for a few seconds (about five seconds 
according to my measurements).

Rather than present such an icon to the user and have him wonder why his clicks 
didn't do anything, we should delay presenting that icon until the process is 
ready to accept clicks.

See also bug 157357, "mozilla disabled during first few seconds after
quicklaunch reloads".  I would prefer if bug 157357 were fixed instead.

I just want to add a reference to Bug 146340, which this bug is a consequence
of.  Hiding the systray icon doesn't explain to the user why other invocations
of Mozilla during the Turbo reload are dropped (e.g. shortcuts, command line).

Based on comment #7, adding Regression keyword. However, I suspect this may
really be a dup of Bug #146340

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