Comment on attachment 9223784 562977-progressmeter-statusbar.patch Review of attachment 9223784: -----------------------------------------------------------------
I tested this on my slow mac and the CPU usage spikes up to 60%, with or without this patch. Nonetheless, the UI changes to the progress bar are welcome as it brings consistency to the interface. I'm not sure I like the current style of the progress bar. The height is a bit too tall and the border + bg color + animation + progress color makes this little widget look a bit busy and over styled. What do you think about: - 4px height - 2px border radius - no border color I'll see if I have any capacity later this week to investigate this and see if I can find how to prevent the spike in CPU usage. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109943 Title: Thunderbird: high CPU usage from progress bars Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: In Progress Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird When sending a simple and short email with Thunderbird via SMTP the CPU is used intensively. This seems not to be necessary. If the sending failed and an corresponding error message dialog appears, the CPU is still being used. When pressing ok to close the error dialog the CPU is fine. This suggests it might be related specifically to the progress bar. Such behavior is especially annoying on a laptop where you can hear the CPU usage because of a starting fan.
