When I upload a file to Gmail, the progress bar in the statusline freezes at 50 percent. When the upload is complete the progress bar gets empty.
It should show the upload progress in a linear way (like Konqueror does).
See screenshot.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take a form with a file upload and make a post request by submitting
2. Watch the progress bar at the bottom
3. The progress bar doesn't go linear, it freezes at 50 percent, when the upload is complete, it gets empty

Here is my new test with Firefox 2.0rc1:
I still get the same results:
The progress bar does not indicate progress during the upload. There is no blue bar growing during the upload.

This time I tried to upload a 2M file over a DSL line (upload is 16kb/s). Watch my screen video here:

The problem still remains in FF 2.0rc2

This bug wasn't fixed in 2.0, so I'm no longer interested in this issue.

Assuming the reporter wants a progress bar when uploading, so marking as dupe of bug 255014.
