In 3.09 of FeedReader:

If I right-click on a feed and select "update feed", the feed gets updated. While that is happening, the "Busy Updating" icon (bottom, left) spins. When the updating has stopped, so does the spinning.

If I right-click on folder which contains a number of feeds and select "update feed", the feeds ALL get updated. While that is happening, the "Busy Updating" icon (bottom, left) spins. The updating finishes after a while, but the spinning icon never stops.
