Problem description: On Mac OS X, the busy wheel isn't the native, but a monochrome time glass. It would be better if the busy wheel was native. I presume this applies to the open office framework as a whole. Perhaps it's specific to Java and can't be changed? I don't know. Steps to reproduce: 1. .... Trigger the busy wheel (block the event loop), such as by saving a file. Current behavior: Monochrome time glass. Expected behavior: Mac OS X's multi coloured, animated spinning wheel. Platform (if different from the browser): Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_1) AppleWebKit/537.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/21.0.1180.89 Safari/537.1
Thank you for your bug report! I am sorry that you did not get an answer earlier. A question: Is this the same issue as in bug 52263 -- “Replace custom ‘hourglass’ pointer/cursor by the operating system's default wait pointer everywhere”? See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52263 I would think so ... What do you mean? Another question, related: according to bug 52263, the old-style ‘hourglass’ pointer appears only sometimes, not always; in most situation, I see the “multi coloured, animated spinning wheel”. Is this the same for you? Or do you often/always see the old-style ‘hourglass’ pointer? And could you please tell us which Mac OS X version you use, and if you use an old PPC or a new Intel-based Mac? This may be important to understand the problem ... Thank you very much!
I see this wheel when saving documents in Writer. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 52263 ***
