Description

Bug description

There is a difference in loader styles between the edit and published views for button components. This is causing most users to experience "panic clicking" resulting a 500 back from GitBook if the button is clicked twice in a row. There may be two issues here. Firstly, the button component does not render a loader and lock out the button from being clicked twice. The second, a server side issue with CloudFlare causing a 500 to result when two requests a simultaneously being processed.

Research direction

Use the reproduction video and compare the integration button behavior in the edit and published views. Start by locating the integration button implementation, then verify that a click shows a loader and prevents a second request; done means repeated clicks no longer produce the reported 500 response.
