Description Small_Penguin 2012-01-13 12:07:52 UTC

When there is background action, thunderbird (as many applications) shows a "busy" mouse cursor. It's usually an arrow with a watch or an hour glass, but of course this depends on the theme. Beginning with thunderbird-9.0, the mouse cursor theme is ignored and the default, ugly black cursor is shown instead.

Mouse pointer theme for testing purposes: Pulse glass.

This is a regression, it worked fine in thunderbird-8.0.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check for new mail or do something else generating a background task.
2. Observe the cursor.

Actual Results:  
The default ugly black X cursor is shown.

Expected Results:  
The nice, themed cursor should be displayed.

are you only seeing this in mozilla products or other gtk2 products as well?

No, this is specific to thunderbird only. Other apps or firefox are not affected.

Hrmm, I notice it in both fx/tb and xfce4 does not even want to pick up the custom mouse cursor, seems only gtk2 apps are showing it and then they work as expected.

The patch v2 from https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709259 fixes the problem for me.

I figured it would, we are fixing to be releasing tb/fx10 which will include the fix.
