267617 - status bar displays irrelevant info when closing/switching tabs

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 104532

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Mikael Karpberg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

There is a small error when switching from or closing active tab while status
bar is showing "Looking up host www.foo.com...", "Transfering data from
www.foo.com..." or such. The text stays on the status bar "forever", even though
the page is done loading in the background or never finished loading since you
closed it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to some site.
2. Open a new tab and in that go to a site which takes a while to load.
3. While the site is still loading, close the new tab.

Actual Results:  
"Transfering data"-text or similar stays in the status bar.

Expected Results:  
Status bar should be cleared, or get the latest status message for the current tab.

I suggest that each tab gets a status message saved with it, and that when a tab
is switched to, that message is set in the status bar.
