Description Susan McCourt

If you have a long operation running and reload the page, you'll lose your progress message forever and won't know when the task is finished.

I could imagine a user deciding to follow a link to do some work while waiting, and if they don't open the link on a new page, they'll never get their progress back when they go back.

We should probably either
- establish ownership of tasks per page so that the page always knows what tasks its running, OR
- have a way to open a popup that shows what all running tasks are doing

Any solution we choose should also address bug 344012.

John, is there a way on the server side to find out what tasks are running?  Or would we have to adopt some client-side storage approach to keep track of tasks?

There is currently no server call to find out what tasks are running (per user), but only because we haven't had a need for it yet. I can easily add that.

I opened bug 344148 for this.

I think this can be considered as done.
