Premise: all animations are distracting.  I like images to "cycle once" so I can
see it the first time, and then ignore it while I focus on reading the page.  (I
just submitted a bug on "cycling once" for Flash which unfortunately was
WONTFIXed because it's controlled by Macromedia.)

The VectorLinux.com site scrolls the message "Check out the new 3.2 DELUXE
edition available at our CD store!" in the status bar.  I'd like a Preferences
setting to eliminate this scrolling.  Possible settings:

o Scroll once
o Put text in status bar without scrolling
o Do not modify status bar at all

The third being to leave it alone completely, so it retains the functionality
(i.e., "Done", or other message, will be visible to the user).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to VectorLinux.com.
2. Be distracted by the scrolling text.
isn't this easily done in prefs (Advanced->Scripts&Plugins)  by not allowing
javascript to "Change dtatus bar text"?
You're absolutely right.  Thanks!  Resolving as WORKSFORME.
