Version: 0.10 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: 3.3.6 OS: Linux There is similar (and old) bug #80901 with the same problem. After sending message to newgroup the cursor icon is changing to a clock and stays that way even after message is sucessfuly posted. To get back normal icon I have to close knode and run it again... until another message is sent to newsgroup. The problems seems to be related to some of ,,sent'' folder. When I click on it then knode says that opening it is not possible. When I cleaned that folder by using clear (don't known exact english name of this option since using non-en locale) option from right-mouse click menu and retested then everything was fine. Probably simulating sent folder corruption would be easy way to reproduce icon problem.
