50608 - Set cursor to 'wait' at startup

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P3)

Description

[Pierre Saslawsky]

Self-explanatory... When launching the app, the cursor should be changed to 
"cursor:wait" instead of "cursor:default".

Still a problem?

We get a little pointer/wait cursor on Windows when the app starts (although it 
changes back to an hourglass while the app loads). On windows this isn't much 
of a problem since you can still easily use the rest of the OS. This might be 
more Mac-specific. Sending to Paul Chen.

This seems to be mac-only so that makes me all but worthless.  Doing what pink
hates most and sending this to him just because it's mac ;)

I think the splash screen is sufficient indication of busyness.  And I just 
checked a couple of other apps that display splash screens during long startups - 
no busy cursors.

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.
To filter this and similar messages out, please filter for "mac_cla_reorg".
