Admin pages are no longer showing load animations.
I just updated a site that was several years old. On the old site, loading new data, for example in the users list, would show a loading spinner. But now there is no spinner (which could be more misleading on slower networks). Here’s what I see:
You can see that as I switch tabs, there’s no loading spinner. I was looking at the old site earlier today and it had a spinner.
If I full refresh the page, then the spinner will appear:
So it’s missing only on dynamic content swap.

I don’t believe this is correct. It’s just that the delay is so very short you never see the spinner.
If you keep switching you can sometimes glimpse it.

Looks like still no loader even if I throttle the network to 3G:

Here is the spinner in the code:

I think it’s just the speed of the data retrieval that is so fast (and almost certainly cached) it doesn’t appear.

Yeah there is a spinner, but it’s just appended at the bottom of the list, so it’s normally scrolled off the bottom of the screen. This should improve the situation:

Aah, better that as the list is first truncated this is reflected in the UI immediately so you can actually see the spinner …
