57023 - status bar not behaving like a standard browser status bar

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 47359

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Casey Perkins]

"Document: Done" displays pretty much all the time in the status bar.
This is confusing while loading a page, as it implies the page is done loading.
Basically, whenever the throbber is going, "Document: Done" should not be
displaying. Conversely, whenever the throbber is still, "Document: Done " should
be showing.
Even better, the status bar should tell useful information while attempting to
load a page:
"Looking up host..."
"Contacting host..."
"Host contacted, waiting for reply..."
"15% of 48K loaded"
And all the other things browser users have come to expect. It makes the wait
for a page to load more bearable.
