Description Blackketter Dean 2007-10-14 19:21:32 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
Comment 2 Blackketter Dean 2008-01-18 10:31:18 UTC
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
