Description

[Alan Mandler]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060309 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.11
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.21 (20090318)

Progress bar works perfectly sending short emails. When larger email is sent (e.g., one with photos or other enclosures), the bar disappears after about 30% completion. From that point forth, the bar does not appear unless Thunderbird is restarted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create an email with large attachment(s).
2.Send email.
3.Watch upload progress bar and note that it disappears when approximately 30% of the email is uploaded.
4.Note that progress bar no longer appears for even short messages.
5.Restart Thunderbird.
6.Progress bar works perfectly until next large send.
Actual Results:  
No progress bar appears during uploads until Thunderbird is restarted.

Expected Results:  
After restart, progress bar appears as it should.

(None.)

Thank you for the followup. I appreciate it. Unfortunately, I am unable to answer your question since I stopped using the mail client and am instead using GMail through the browser. Regards...alan
