throbber not visible, epiphany-browser

[Nobu]

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04)

The throbber in epiphany-browser is not displaying correctly:

When all pages are loaded and the browser is doing nothing, the GNOME Foot image/throbber is missing. The circular "loading" (or busy) throbber is visible when a page is loading, though.

See attached screenshot. Notice the blank space on the right. Ignore the tooltip (it's difficult doing a selection screenshot in GIMP before a page finishes loading. ;-) )

Seems similar to Debian Bug #420412

thank you for your bug report, not sure that's a bug though, why would it need to display an activity indicator when there is no activity going on?

[Nobu (benjo316)]

Well, it doesn't necessarily have to. I just thought it seemed odd that there was a separator there when there's nothing to separate, so I thought it was a bug (i.e.: something was missing, or it shouldn't be there). Of course, it didn't cross my mind that it might have supposed to not be there until you replied, but it does make sense.

Personally, I see no need for a separator there. If someone wants one, they can add it. Otherwise, it just doesn't belong.

Note: I have tried going into "Customize Toolbar" and removing it, but it is indeed a hard-coded separator.

[Nobu (benjo316)]

Apparently, it's related to the theme engine I was using.

The "separator" (don't know if I can call it that, now) is not visible when using Taqua, New Wave, Murrina, Mist, Loma, Inverted, Human, Glossy, Dust, DarkRoom, or Clearlooks, nor their derivatives. It's visible in most all of the others.

That said, can this be resolved by a change in code of the application, or is it invalid?

you should open the bug on bugzilla.gnome.org where the people writting the code will read it rather than distribution bug triagers

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of Epiphany Browser is available in both Lucid and Maverick and we are wondering if this is still reproducible in any of those versions, May you please test and give us of feedback about it? Thanks in advance.
