429321 - UI inconsistency when changing the run status of a test run

Status: NEW

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5

During a test run , there seems to be a small UI issue with the test run status.
 
When a test run is in the RUNNING condition, its run status contains a green "GO" icon along  with the "RUNNING" text. If I try to change the status to "STOPPED" through the drop-down box, there is a dialog box "Change Run Status" which prompts for status change verification. While the dialog  box is active and waits for confirmation, in the background, the  text on the run status has
already changed to "STOPPED", but the icon has not turned to red yet. If I select "NO" at the prompt (I do not want to change the status) , then the run status remains as "STOPPED" but with  a green icon, although the actual status does not change.If I do not leave that screen and try again to change the status to "STOPPED" from the drop-down box the dialog does not appear again, and
 the status cannot be changed to "STOPPED".However, if I try to change the status to "RUNNING" an equivalent issue appears! (it becomes too complicated to describe it, it is a kind of recursive one!).

It seems that the run status actually changes ONLY if the user clicks "yes" the first time the "Change Run Status" dialog appears.

The issue exists into the demo installation of testopia 2 (http://landfill.bugzilla.org/testopia2) 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login into http://landfill.bugzilla.org/testopia2 and go to the MyRuns page
2. enter into one of your own test runs which is at a "RUNNING" status 
3. from the "RUN STATUS" drop down box select "STOPPED"
4. A dialog appears prompting for confirmation. Click "NO"
5. from the "RUN STATUS" drop down box select again "STOPPED"
6. go back to the page which contains the summary of all your test runs.
7. enter again the test run page.
8. from the "RUN STATUS" drop down box select "STOPPED"
9. A dialog appears prompting for confirmation. Click "NO"
10. from the "RUN STATUS" drop down box select again "RUNNING"

steps 8-10 can go on forever...

Actual Results:  
1. shows my current runs
2. shows all the details of the test run 
3. the text of the combo box changes to "STOPPED" but the icon is still green saying "GO"
4. the combo box text does not return to the previous state ,that is, "RUNNING" 
5. the text of the combo box changes to "STOPPED" but the icon is still green saying "GO" and there is no confirmation dialog
6. the test run status is still "RUNNING" , which is correct.
7. the status indicator reflects the actual status , which is "RUNNING"
8. the text of the combo box changed to "STOPPED" but the icon is still green saying "GO"
9. the combo box text does not return to the previous state ,that is, "RUNNING" 
10. the text of the combo box changes to "RUNNING" and the icon retains the green "GO"




there was no any page errors, or strange UI widgets behavior. seems more like logical error. The behavior was the same for both mozilla and opera browser.
