Description jrojcek 2005-08-19 14:32:04 UTC 
If there is only one progress running and you click on it, the popup window appears showing the same 
progress, but if the progress is indefinite, it looks quite strange as they are not synchronized. Maybe 
we should make them synchronized, or do not show the running progress bar in the status line if the 
popup window is open. Or maybe open the popup window so that it overlaps the progress in the status 
line.

1. synchronizing is not possible as it's rendering is implementation detail of
the L&F.
2. overlapping the status bar makes it hard to hide the popup again (now you
click on the status bar once, popup appears, you click again and it disappears)
3. hiding the progress in status is possible, has partially the same problem as
2. IMHO has bad UI effect as it does something for no obvious reason to the user.

closing as wontfix. please reopen if you feel strongly about the issue. In that
case please provide exact description of what should be done.
