This might sound dumb, but when the progress bar is dark like that, it sticks out from the rest of the UI like a sore thumb. All the other things in the UI are a light blue, the contrasting dark grey-blue draws the eye to it. Since it's not doing anything, there's no reason whatsoever the eye should be drawn to it, it's just distracting. I suggest a nice light blue color (the same color as the rest of the bar perhaps?) when it's done loading and sitting idle.

mpt: what do you think?

Chaning the qa contact on these bugs to me. MPT will be moving to the owner of this component shortly. I would like to thank him for all his hard work as he moves roles in mozilla.org...Yada, Yada, Yada...

updating to new owner. sorry for the spam.

In 0.9.2/Modern the progress bar was great why it changes in 0.9.2+/0.9.3? Actually nothing is displayed in the area when the document is done... The progress bar should at least stay filled.

This isn't a Themes bug; it happens equally often (but not always) in both Modern and Classic. Sometimes the progress meter doesn't disappear once the document has finished loading. --> XP Apps: GUI

Here is a url that for me (on Windows 2000) exhibits this bug 100%: http://www.maplenet.net/finance_ag_news_page.htm

Why was this passed back to me? I don't think this is mine. We just display the information we're passed, and that seems to work fine. I doubt there are bugs in the FE code that would cause this.

what could cause the progress meter to stay dark? i thought it was tied to the load group having requests in it, or something like that. it doesn't seem like this belongs to necko. perhaps docshell who owns the load group? perhaps it is not handling page load completion properly in some special case? -> docshell

The attached URL doesn't seem to show the status bar problem with a tip build of mozilla... Is there another URL that still exhibits this problem? -- rick

Rick, on win2k with build 2002-02-18-03, the progress meter remains 'full' on each 1st impression of that url. (IE, if I view it twice, it goes away, then I clear memory/disk cache and hit reload, and the problem exhibits itself again).

Unless there are pages which still show this bug, could we mark it WORKSFORME?
