Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When i run the script below, the document will correctly render the parameters 
of the document.writeln command but for some reason firefox still has 
the "Transferring data from..." message in the status bar. This code works ok 
if you do NOT use the timeout.

 window.setTimeout( "test()" , 100 );
 function test()
 {
   document.writeln( "<html><body>this is a test</body></html>" );
 }


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make a page with the included script
2.Run page and observer statusbar
3.

Actual Results:  
The status bar contained the message "Tranferring data from...". This message 
stayed forever.

Expected Results:  
The status message should have returned to the normal display.
