Bugzilla – Bug 5804
need a spinning progress indicator during searches
Last modified: 2008-05-15 12:59:47 UTC
A full screen "searching for/<query>" needs to be displayed when you press to begin a search.
Fix this for 7.0. Priority P2
that's a spinny arrow, not the spinning circle
Richard, from campfire: "ben, that cursor is just a static image. it's not possible to animate it." so we need to figure out the best option if a spinning cursor is not possible.
"Not possible"???? Come on, it's software. ANYTHING is possible. :) Plus we already have that graphic animated in the list, though I realize it might be hard in the text entry screen. As a temporary fix for 7.0, we could put up a full-screen spinny, then for 7.0.1 fix it to use the same spinning > graphic as in the menus.
"not possible" I believe should be interpreted as "not possible in Lua without additional C support in the skin" I'm racking my brain trying to remember what was my very good reason for not having a full-screen popup, but I can't recall. So, I guess I'll look to doing that as an interim measure.
full screen popup animation added for when search (or any slimbrowser-based text input) is in progress r1547
