 I'm running Linux, so I'm not sure if this is the same for the other
 versions of the browser bundle, but if it is I hope someone can please
 correct this.

 This is not a bug, rather a lack of a feature that seems fairly important.

 In The network settings and using a proxy to access the internet, I
 noticed when using a Socks 5 proxy there is no information being listed in
 the Message Log, about the connectivity to this proxy.

 I think it would be great if Tor showed some type of connectivity
 information, showing it was making the connection, when the connection is
 completed and successful, then making the connections to Tor, rather then
 simply connecting and getting online.

 I reported something like this in the past, but it seemed like Tor was
 just by passing the proxy and getting online and without any information
 in the log, we don't really know if it was successful or Tor simply by
 passed it and was able to get online, also there could be a bug in the
 software, so we need some type of logging information...

 THANKS
