using 8/23 RTM branch build on all platforms:

1) launch netscape
2) jump to above URL 

notice after the page is done loading the status bar still says: 
"Transferring data from www.kzgolf.com"

Also sometimes the message is : "Sending request to www.kzgolf.com"

Is this XPtoolkit/widgets?

I've seen that on  all platforms (RTM: 08-23 builds)
WFM - 2002082804 trunk / XP.

However, this bug is really a dupe of bug 133250.  It's marked FIXED but,
according to the last comment there, some people are apparently still seeing it.

(Since this bug has nothing to do with tabs, bug 133250 comment 141 does not apply.)

reopen for a specific problem noted with a plugin on that page and the throbber 
not stopping.

For this simple test case, http://jrgm.mcom.com/bugs/165287/page.html, which 
is a page with only an <object>/<embed> for a .swf animation, in current trunk 
builds (mine and confirmed by shrir) the throbber never stops.

<body>

I'm kinda half-morphing but also narrowing the definition of this bug. But it 
is a specific example of a bug.

Summary: status bar message is incorrect → throbber never stops loading a page with only a .swf plugin object/embed
hmm, it happens only with flash6, old flash5 works fine.

Hm...I'm having a hard time reproducing. Does the onLoad handler fire? On the
trunk, it's not supposed to fire while the plugin has open streams.
For the test case, http://jrgm.mcom.com/bugs/165287/page.html, the onload 
handler does fire but the throbber does not stop. Here is a modified test page
http://jrgm.mcom.com/bugs/165287/page-onload.html that will set window.status 
to 'fired onload' in the body onload handler. This was easily reproducible in a 
trunk build for both shrir and me.

Unless there is some particularly degenerate aspect of this test case, I 
strongly disagree that this is minor/Future/P4. What is the basis of that 
rating. We should never fail to shut off the throbber when a page has indeed 
been loaded. A "stuck throbber" means "piece of **** browser" to most end 
users.

Attached patch patch v1Splinter Review
setting nsLoadFlags == nsIRequest::LOAD_BACKGROUND prevents throbber from
becoming active.
 I agree with jrgm!  This appears not only on this site but on abcnews and other 
important websites. I see serge already has a patch :)...

verified fixed on the 0904 trunk builds. 


However, I see another unrelated issue. will file it seperately. The problem is
...if I enter an invalid url , say, 'abcdef.com" and before the alert dialog
comes up telling me about the incorrect url , I type another correct address'
say "google.com", the throbber just keeps spinning...the url does not load.
clicking on STOP does not work. 
oh well, will file a new bug.
