navigation bar is shown after page refresh

[winklerrr]

I've set up my Raspberry in that way, that it opens up Midori on start up. Midori then loads a html page in full screen mode. Everything works as expected.

But I also specified a refresh interval with the parameter -i 3600. The problem occurs after the first refresh of the page because after that refresh is the navigation bar shown.

Someone had the same problem here: Raspberry Pi Forum (http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=87719).

His solution was to switch from Midori to Minimal Kiosk Browser (kweb). But I don't want to do this.

I also set settings like show-navigationbar to false but it doesn't solve the problem.

Would be nice to see this fixed.

The reasoning for this behavior is that it's the only way to show progress. However we could try something modern and use a thin progress bar at the top instead and there's no need for flashing the toolbar anymore.

Or simply show the navigation bar while it is loading and then hide it again.

Or maybe accept that the user who hides the navigation bar also does not need/want to see the progress. After all, running midori in kiosk mode with "midori -i 120 -e Navigationbar -e Fullscreen -a URL" does not show the navigation bar for the initial loading. So I would fully expect that on subsequent reloads it also does not show the navigation bar.

Personally I would prefer the last. If you want to show progress in this case then please add something very subtle like a thin 1 pixel progress bar overlay or a thin circle-filling-up progress overlay or something like that. For sure nothing that would stay visible all the time. The whole point of Fullscreen is that the entire screen is there for the content of the web page.

Thanks a lot!

For all intents and purposes the described behavior seems to already have changed, something like "-i 60 -e Fullscreen -e Navigationbar -a http://example.com" as well as a regular instance will not flash the toolbar at all. Please correct me if there's a way to still reproduce this.

I tried the -e Navigationbar option but that doesn't change anything for me. But i'm working with an Olinuxino-Lime. In the Debian image is Midori 0.4.3 included and I don't see an easy way to upgrade to a newer version since the Debian repo's only have 0.4.3.
