Progress bar bug?
Saturday, October 22, 2005 by Fred Hall | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Using the latest (g) beta of WB5 (actually 4.9).
If I do anything that pops up a dialog box with a progress bar...for example download a large file, or move, copy a large amount of files (something that takes a minute or so) the progress bar shows fine as long as the dialog box has the main focus.
However, if I click another window which only paritally hides the progress bar dialog, (say half the progress dialog shows behind the right border of the foreground window) the progress "indicator" seems to "jump over" and redraws itself starting at the border of the "covering" window. In effect it looks like the progress is further along (or complete) than it really is. If I click on the progress dialog to bring it to the foreground, the amount of progress is drawn correctly again. Cover it partially with a window, it jumps to the right again...very repeatable. Does anyone else see this? I'm using the Aura skin by the way.

I have this same problem going on. It does it for any installed skin. What it seems to be doing is taking the start point of the dialog as from where the window overlaps the dialog and moving the percentage along accordingly. It doens't increase the length of the dialog box though..

Fred,
If you apply a different skin, does the same thing happen? It could be a skin-oriented issue.
