Description
What steps does it take to reproduce the issue?
Upload a dataset thumbnail.
- When does this issue occur?
Once the image file is selected and uploaded.
- Which page(s) does it occurs on?
dataset-widgets.xhtml
- What happens?
The image is uploaded and thumbnails produced, but the spinner never stops, at least on S3 storage, so the end user may think Dataverse isn't ready for the "Save" button. This is ultimately a cosmetic/non-issue, but it caused some consternation for one of our community members who performed a system migration this weekend.
- To whom does it occur (all users, curators, superusers)?
All users.
- What did you expect to happen?
The spinner should disappear once thumbnails are produced and saved to storage.
Which version of Dataverse are you using?
5.9
Any related open or closed issues to this bug report?
I didn't find one directly related, but there are multiple dataset thumbnail issues open.

Start with dataset-widgets.xhtml and trace the thumbnail upload flow when storage is S3. Reproduce by uploading a dataset thumbnail, then verify that the spinner disappears after the thumbnails are produced and saved, allowing the user to continue to Save.
