   When performing a -reindex with the GUI, it visually looks identical to a sync from peers.

   It would be preferable to visually indicates the difference.

   Things like “syncing with the network” are basically wrong.

   Testing master (470664f2b788e2cce9202991d11476a6fef00ef4) on Linux Mint 19.3:

   

   Cannot confirm the issue. @jonasschnelli Mind providing steps to reproduce “syncing with the network” with -reindex option?

   I eventually ran into an edge case,… maybe when a corruption is detected and the GUI asks for a reindex.

   Can you trigger the issue using -reindex-chainstate ?

   I can’t reproduce it anymore either. I think I tried to enable txindex & had a corrupted chainstate. But manually reconstructing that doesn’t reproduce it.
