I've seen this a few time now...if I'm trying to save a NG post to an

while a *blue* "spinning pizza-wheel of death" is spinning.
And whassup with the *blue* pizza wheel vice the OX X default rainbow
one? Is this another instance of SM stepping on a standard OS X
interface activity? No other app on my machine alters the
wait-wheel...not one!
Neither of these were happening prior to SM 2.26 Mac.
That's just the new SeaMonkey "app busy" cursor. The old one used to
have a much smaller, black spinning ball. The new one is, well, new. I
see it whenever opening a newsgroup message or when SM is syncing an
IMAP account and that account has focus.
...I've never seen a black ball, ever that I can recall - just the OS X
System default one. Why monkey with that?
Or is SM 2.26 also hanging up on me more noticeably?
I always took it to mean that if SM itself stopped to think, I get the
"SM working/thinking" symbol....and if it stops too long, I get the OS
thinking/working symbol. (aka "pinwheel of death"....from years back on
Mac groups). It's usually when I click to delete a god-awful huge HTML
heavy message from someone, and then click to switch to a different
account .5 seconds later. SM says, "oh, wait....what?....Oh, OK"
SM has always taken a long time to delete large HTML heavy messages, IDK
why, and I have no basis for comparison. Anyone with ten times the RAM
they /should/ need for SM, likely never sees it.

So far I've only noticed it hanging on dragging a NG post to a
Folder...and it never recovers, but I can continue to use the Browser
and click around Mail - that's the really odd thing. Closing Mail
doesn't clear it either - I have to close the session and re-open SM.
I don't really do/see HTML Mail, so I've got nothing to compare to on
that score...but I do subscribe to a binary group of 3D artists, so I'll
have to look at what happens when I try and display a particularly large
post - those are generally what I File and I haven't had any trouble
with those...just ones from my Crohn's NG which are all text, some
converted from HTML probably - so maybe it's something with that group
that is the problem?
I'm still dubious about the blue wheel...I need to check that on my
1.1.19 install and see what I see.
