31931 - Need status feedback when downloading news article

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect, P3)

Description

[Chuck R.]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; N; Win98; en-US; m14)
BuildID:    2000031317

If the throbber is going (for any reason), the status bar should at least clear,
or say "working...", but it always displays the last message, which is always
"Done."

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Mail/News
2. Click on a news server to get the headers.
3. Click on an article to get the article text. While getting the text the
status bar says "Done." but the throbber is still going.

not going to happen for m16.

Sounds like cleanup, marking M18.

I'm not seeing this behaviour in Build ID 2000092908 win32. Instead, after
clicking on a article, I get status bar text saying "Loading Document..." as the
throbber is going.

Is this fixed ?

mass change of huang's news bugs to stephend.

Would like the mouse cursor to change to an hourglass if Mozilla is still 
processing. I've noticed the most number of crashes in Windows occur when you 
try to do something and another process in the foreground is running. The 
hourglass will tell me to wait until the current process finishes.

clearing milestone, m17 and m18 are meaningless now.  these need to be triages
along with the rest.

Comment 9

[Henrik Lynggaard Hansen]

I have tested this on both windows (1.6b) and linux (1.5), and this appear fixed. 

I'm marking it as such, please reopen if the problem is still there.

This also works for me with build 2004-05-12-08 on WinXP - apparently we removed
'done', though (or, it flashes so fast over my DSL).

This is fixed, verified.
