Progress meter not displayed until transfer ends

[gsteemso]

I did this

Initiated a transfer; was presented with the headings of the progress bar, but no data until the transfer ended

I expected the following

the progress meter to display numbers that change as the transfer progresses

A command line that reproduces what you see?

[gsteemso]

At first I could not find any command line that did not exhibit the problem. Today I sat down at the same computer, not rebooted or anything, and it is working perfectly. Now I cannot find any command line that does exhibit the strange behaviour.

I shall blame cosmic rays, or something. False alarm?

In the sudden absence of the problem, marking this closed.

[gsteemso]

Turns out I was accidentally testing the wrong binary. The 64-bit PPC build of 8.7.1 does indeed exhibit this behaviour with every command line I tried, but that was not very many due to time constraints. I will post further if I can find any command line that produces different behaviour.

...and now it's working perfectly when I'm testing the correct binary, too. I give up. Closing this again.
