The mouse cursor changes its shape to a "busy" icon when claws is doing something, like switching to a different folder. But sometimes, this "busy" icon doesn't turn back to the normal cursor, even if claws seems done. E.g. the folder is loaded, and there's no further activity etc. The mouse cursor simply stays in this state. Only restarting claws seems to fix it. (I'm not sure what's the proper term for this icon. On MS Windows, this usually was a hourglass animation. With the GTK theme I'm using, it's some sort of animated wheel shape.)
It happened to me multiple times. If you want to ignore reality - well maybe that's why your software has so many damn bugs.
(In reply to comment #1) > It happened to me multiple times. Never happens here. Maybe you want to give more details, like what desktop you use, what version. How to trigger it, etc etc. Then this report would be more useful. As it is, 'worksforme' is the only possible response. > If you want to ignore reality - well maybe > that's why your software has so many damn bugs. Since you've been in "arrogant twat" mode from the start, how do you think, in reality, people will respond to that?

IceWM, latest version. >Since you've been in "arrogant twat" mode from the start, how do you think, in reality, people will respond to that? What do you think users of a software think if the dev doesn't acknowledge real bugs, and does nothing to fix long standing issues that severely reduce the user experience and the usefulness of the software at large? I totally expected this, because months ago the only reaction on IRC to HUGE bugs and issues was "patches welcome" - so my reaction is to not to allow you to deny bugs.
Responding to a question with another question is evasive and doesn't answer the original question. I don't think at any time I've not acknowledged real bugs. This particular one is very likely not in Claws, but in some other part of your system. Its often the case that bugs in dependencies show themselves in this manner. (By the way, I'm just a member of the development team, not "the dev".) If you "totally expected" this kind of response, why did you bother? And if your reaction is to "not to allow you to deny bugs", what's your motivation here? What are you hoping to achieve? Are you on some kind of misguided crusade?? This is a bug tracker not a discussion forum. As I said previously, it would have been much better to discuss these points through the usual channels rather than have a discussion here that detracts from the usefulness of a bug report.
