When a new post is saving, this is now made abundantly clear in the UI – we have a spinner on the bottom and a grayed-out post in the stream.

When saving an edit, we have neither of those. I agree that graying out the post (which was there before) is strange, but I think we should show the spinner while the edit is saving.

Yep, @sam has not had time to get to that part yet but it is coming.

This is now complete, will be deployed here very shortly.

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/3dcd6edb46ac7f814e73b89083186a7d79823ddd](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/3dcd6edb46ac7f814e73b89083186a7d79823ddd)

Closing the composer as opposed to setting it to “Saving” was an outright bug.

**EDIT** I just made an edit and it was so cool 💟
