Description Steve Frécinaux 2006-07-29 16:40:10 UTC 
The yellow progress area should be shown while waiting for the server response as well as when actually loading the file, with a progress bar in activity mode (since the actual progress can't be measured in that case).

For instance, try to get a file from a slow server, for instance:
https://svn.tinymail.org/svn/tinymail/trunk/libtinymailui-gtk/tny-msg-header-list-model.h

What happens is that the document stays empty for a long time before the content is actually shown. There is no reason not to show an activity progress, otherwise people can think there is a problem or so.

But doesnt it say 'Loading ... ' in the statusbar, isn't that
enough? Are we going for an over kill?
Comment 2 Steve Frécinaux 2006-08-22 14:50:53 UTC 
I'm talking about the very particular case of remote location opening, when the time waiting for the document may be quite long and the message area will be shown anyway.

This is still reproducible in 3.2, logging onto an AFS via VPN/SSH.
Comment 4 Sébastien Wilmet 2015-05-05 12:34:57 UTC 
There is now a progress info bar. I guess this bug can be closed.
