I200405290105 Run->Run...->JUnit Plug-in Test->New->Run a single test Select a project with a lot of tests (like org.eclipse.ui.tests) Click Search... A busy cursor appears for about 10 seconds, but no progress dialog is shown (usability issue). Here's the weird part: if you close the Run dialog while the busy cursor is showing, the missing progress dialog opens.
This is because we do not open a progress dialog if there is already a modal dialog open. Erich is this one of the busyCursorWhile cases we have been discussing?
correct this is one of those cases.
IMHO, we should always show the progress dialog, even if there is a modal dialog open. I can't think of an example where the same progress meter would be interesting to me while the workbench had focus but wouldn't be interesting while a dialog has focus.
In this particular case it is better to use the runnable context of the launching dialog instead of showing another progress dialog. adopting the bug
