253869 - while composing a mail message, hourglass cursor doesn't clear follow a CTRL-S (save from keyboard) operation

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Kevin Bier]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

Open a new, blank mail message.  Type a bit of text and press CTRL-S to save the
draft.  The mouse cursor correctly switches to the hourglass but then fails to
clear back to the arrow once the Save operation is complete.

The same behavior does NOT occur is one saves from the File menu.

Further, the mouse cursor returns to the arrow as soon as the mouse position is
changed.  The I-beam (insertion point) works correctly throughout (correct
cursoe, continues to pulse).


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open a new mail message
2.  Type any text into the composition body
3.  Press CTRL-S

Actual Results:  
Mouse cursor switches from the arrow to the arrow-hourglass upon initiation of
the save operation.  The mouse is still "alive" and returns to the corect arrow
cursor as soon as the mouse is moved, so this is purely a cosmetic error.

Expected Results:  
Mouse cursor should toggle to the arrow-hourglass during the save operation,
then return to the arrow as soon as the save is complete.

This is probably a dupe of bug 139232.  I am not seeing this symptom, however, 
with TB 1.0 under Windows 2000.

Kevin Bier, Gert-Jan Vons -- are you still experiencing this problem?

[Gert-Jan Vons]

Yes I still see this.

With TB1.0 under XP-Pro SP2, starting a new message, typing some text, hitting
^S to save the draft -> mouse pointer becomes busy and stays that way until I
move it.

It indeed seems to be a dupe of bug #139232 though.

OK, confirming based on the report and the MailNews bug.

I don't know if this front-end symptom is caused by shared (back-end) code or if 
this can be fixed in TB alone, so I won't dupe this; but someone who knows 
might.

Yes, I can confirm this (TB1.5RC2, WinXP SP2)
