Stop Pegasus Mail's current Internet Sessions Icon bug

A bit of an update.

I think I might have narrowed down when this bug occurs. 

If an upload email fails to send, a popup window comes up. 

If you click on ok, the session icon will stay red until Pegasus Mail is shut down and restarted.

If you let the popup window time out, the session icon will go back to grey.

I'm running Pegasus Mai 4.63 in multi user mode on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.

I've noticed a bug where if there is an error in an email upload/download internet session, that the Stop Session icon will stay bold/coloured even after the session has finished. The only way I've found to return the icon to its grey/idle state is to shut down Pegasus and restart Pegasus.

Is this a known bug, or do I appear to be the only one with this bug?

Thank you.

Cheers

Rod

Have you set the Winsock to load always in Tools | Options | Advanced?

Yes. It is set to always.

And I guess I need to clarify, if it isn't clear already, I've seen it with for example, a "SMTP Network or Protocal Error sending mail" error which subsequently brings up a Pegasus popup window detailing the error and then waits for an acknowledgement or times out in 20 seconds. Letting it time out, or clicking on Close, will not reset the icon to the idle status. Subsequent internet session mail checks and sends do not reset the icon status to idle either, after these sessions have finished. The icon status sticks in the active session status mode, as in coloured. Clicking on the icon even during a subsequent session doesn't return the icon to idle status.

I've tested that if the icon is idle/greyed out and I then click on it while a mail polling/checking session is occuring (the icon having gone coloured for the session), that a "Pop3 Network or Protocal Error"  window will pop up. The icon greys out when this window pops up and is still working fine when that window is closed.

Thank you.

I'm still running the same OS and Pegasus is up to 4.72.572.

Does anyone else have this same bug where the internet session icon sticks on no matter what else is done, unless Pegasus is shut down and restarted?

Not here.  The icon greys out once each download attempt completes.  Behavior is the same on two different PMail installations.

The issue raises its head if an upload is interrupted. If another upload attempt is made and the upload is successful this time, the icon still stays coloured as in the pic.

Without connection interruptions, it does work like it should.

I can't recall what it does on a download interruption though but I'll keep an eye on that.
