[Bug 716395] [NEW] shows a progress bar waiting forever

[matteo sisti sette]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

In Mozilla Thunderbird, in the status bar at the bottom of the window,
on the right side, there is a progress bar that usually shows the
progress when you are downloading messages, sending a message, etc. When
thunderbird is connecting to the server or waiting for something, it
shows a "waiting" animation (bar of fixed size moving from left to right
cyclically). When no operation is in progress, this bar should stay idle
and empty.

Since I added an IMAP account, this bar ALWAYS shows a never ending
"waiting" animation forever and ever even when the program isn't doing
anything. My IMAP account works correctly and downloads messages when
there are messages to download. It is only the animation that never
stops. I attach a screenshot. Note that on the left part of the status
bar there is no message saying "waiting for this"/"doing that", which is
correct since thunderbird is not doing anything nor waiting for
anything.

Before I added the IMAP account, this never happened; the status bar
used to work fine and only used to show the animation or progress bar
when it was appropriate.
