Description dfraipont 2017-08-30 21:15:10 UTC 
Hello,

When updating StatusBar value, progressBar return to zero some times.
Here a code to reproduce with Draw and Impress

Sub TestStatusBar()
	Dim i As Integer
	ThisComponent.CurrentController.StatusIndicator.Start(gsStatusBarText,1000)
	For i = 1 To 1000
		ThisComponent.CurrentController.StatusIndicator.setText(i)
		ThisComponent.CurrentController.StatusIndicator.setValue(i)
	Next
	ThisComponent.CurrentController.StatusIndicator.end()
End Sub

Seems to be the same when saving big document.

Hello,

You only need to run TestStatusBar VB macro in new draw document.

I don't talk about text but ProgressBar value.
Did you see it progress?

Yes, no problem in Version: 6.0.0.0.alpha0+, Linux. But on windows I doesn't see progres - the status bar is blinking. That's the problem?

Are you on Windows or Linux?
On GTK3, it was recently fixed in bug 111865

Tested with Windows 8.1
In LO version 5.4.0.3 fails but in LO version 6.0.0.0.alpha0+ works flawlessly.

Luis said "In LO version 5.4.0.3 fails but in LO version 6.0.0.0.alpha0+ works flawlessly" so the interesting result from you would be with 6.0.x.

Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
Comment 13 dfraipont 2018-05-08 11:28:10 UTC 
Hello,

This works well in v6.0.3 if running step by step.
When running normally (F5), the status bar blink.
This should not occurs between:
StatusIndicator.Start(gsStatusBarText,1000)
and
StatusIndicator.end()

Is it possible to disable statusBar paint event while enter in StatusIndicator.Start?

In same things, if I hide statusBar then running .Start() show bar but hide it after .end().
Comment 14 Buovjaga 2018-05-10 14:31:17 UTC 
Let's just change the topic as raal confirmed the flickering in comment 5.
Comment 15 Luis 2018-05-15 09:28:14 UTC 
Hello.

Tested in Windows 7 with LO 6.0.4.2

I confirm the flickering

Inserting a delay ("wait 10") between setText and setValue of after setValue I can't see any flick.
Comment 16 Luis 2018-05-15 09:51:35 UTC 
I think that in version 6 is a diferent but related bug. 
In previous versions the progress of the status bar was not visible (as stated in the title: "StatusIndicator: ProgressBar value return to 0").
In version 6 (Windows) the progress of the status bar is visible but there is some flick.
