Hello,

we have noticed in our RAP application, that the busy indicator is sometimes not updated correctly. The mouse curser seems to change only after it was moved. For example if the user starts a long running operation by the press of a button, the cursor does not change its appearance before it is moved. The same happens when the processing is done, i.e. the cursor stays busy until moved again. This is sometimes irretating for the user in our application and we would like to fix it somehow. The problem does not occur in Firefox 24.3.0 so I guess it is a compatibility issue with IE...

A button like this will demonstrate the issue:

        Button b = new Button(container, SWT.PUSH);
        b.setText("test");
        b.addListener(SWT.Selection, new Listener()
        {
            private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
            
            @Override
            public void handleEvent(Event event)
            {
                System.out.println("pressed");
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(3000);
                } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                System.out.println("finished");
            }
        });


Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Tibu

Hi Tibu,
it's not a good idea to execute a long running operation in the UI
thread. Blocking the UI for a long time leads to bad user experience.
About your actual question - I can reproduce the issue with your snippet
in IE10/IE11/Chrome. Working fine in Firefox and Opera. Please file a
bugzilla and we will look on it.
Thanks,
Ivan
