317795 - Loading bar won't destruct during right-click session

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Loren]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

The Loading bar in the status bar at the bottom of the page on the right won't disappear I noticed when you right-click on the application from the task-bar,

It's not a bug so much as what I would personally classify as a small coding conflict, but it's good to note,

Also the same problem exists within Thunderbird and I'd suspect other Mozilla Products

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a Firefox Window
2. Type an address in the location bar and hit return, 
3. Before the page finishes loading, right click on "Your Website - Mozilla Firefox" in the taskbar
Actual Results:  
watch as the loading bar is never destroyed

Expected Results:  
The loading bar would be destroyed (small code error that could contribute to future bugs due to messy code or something similar)

It's not as much a bug as it is something that I'd reccomend looking it

Reproduced with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/2007051502 Firefox/2.0.0.4

I went to news.google.com, and while it was loading, I right-clicked on Fx in the task bar.  The page finished loading (the status bar said "Done"), but the loading bar was still there.  However, when I clicked somewhere else in Fx, both the context menu from the status bar and the loading bar disappeared.

I could not reproduce with trunk [Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a6pre) Gecko/2007060204 Minefield/3.0a6pre] due to bug 383019.

I can confirm this as well on branch. Let's just assume it would exist on trunk if not for bug 383019 and confirm it.

Not a shell integration bug (e.g. protocol registration, save as wallpaper,
etc.) ... moving over to Firefox -> General so this can be triaged further

This is no longer part of the UI
