No mouse cursor loading indicator during loading of a page

[Czarek]

Since Chromium started using Aura, the mouse cursor does not indicate that browser is loading a webpage. In all branches starting from 1750 up to trunk, when running cefclient I see an empty window for a few seconds with no idea whether it's loading or crashed. It's a bad user experience. There is an Issue in Chromium tracker about that:

But aside from that, are there any plans to fix it in CEF without waiting for Chromium? It looks like it might take them a year or so to fix it.

That sounds like a long time. Perhaps you're waiting for proxy resolution? You can try one of the suggestions from https://code.google.com/p/chromiumembed ... Resolution.

I'm not complaining about loading time. It's the mouse "busy" cursor that I'm missing

Yeah, having the cursor back would be nice. As stated in the Chromium issue patches are welcome .

I have a fix for mouse cursor loading indicator on Windows. A few calls to SetCursor, GetCursor, LoadImage and SetTimer. See the fix in PHP Desktop: https://github.com/cztomczak/phpdesktop ... 06ca0f6488

Works pretty well
