It is useful to be able to cancel an update, especially if it is taking long than expected. However, while an update is occuring, the cursor on the window turns to the busy cursor. While the cancel button can still be clicked on, the user experience is awkward. I do not think a busy cursor should be used while an update is occuring. If there must be some visual indication besides the progress bar that work is occuring, changing the red hat into an animated icon seems more appropriate (similar to a web browser). Version-Release number of selected component: up2date-4.3.47-5 up2date-gnome-4.3.47-5
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Closing per lack of response to previous comment. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4 and is a security issue, please assign to Fedora Legacy and the appropriate version. The bug could also be filed against RHEL if it is relevant there. up2date has been replaced by pirut and pup in FC5 and FC6, the still fully supported versions of Fedora Core, so this bug will not be fixed unless it is a security issue.
