I'm not the original reporter but I think I know what he is referring to.

The problem with the status bar is that it shows a percentage and that
percentage has nothing to do with the progress of the task. Indeed, when it
reach 95% it goes back to 5% and starts again, always growing at a fixed
interval. That progress bar should be "indeterminate", only showing a busy
indicator. It seems Qt progress bar supports this, setting its maximum and
minimum to 0. The effect is that a small bar is shown, bouncing back and forth,
instead of a percentage.

This problem affects several modules and I suspect that what the current
progress bar is masking is the execution of kbuildsycoca. So, every module that
needs to rebuild the cache would be affected, for instance "Regional &
Language". The KDE menu editor is also affected, as it shows the same progress
dialog when saving changes.
