ok, i currently use the zero state determinate version of the progress bar when no background activity is underway. unfortunately, when i restart the indeterminate animation (using startAnimation), the barber pole behaves strangely: it sometime reverses, starts going forward again, reverses etc.

anyway, thanks for your help --nikki
This /does/ sound like a bug. I can't see why this would be the designed behavior. (I'm assuming it doesn't do this when you instantiate a new, indeterminate progress indicator.) This makes me wonder whether there is some initialization that's getting dropped (like timing information---after
all, if it goes too fast, aliasing [of the time variety, like with TV and motion pictures] can make such a repeating pattern appear to be going backward).
