Description
Discussion: https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-playground/discussions/1335
Currently, when users interact with the WordPress Playground admin panel, such as navigating menus, opening the dashboard, or triggering admin actions, there is no visual feedback indicating that something is loading or being processed. This lack of a loading indicator can lead to user confusion or repeated clicks due to the absence of any progress cue.
In a normal browser-based WordPress environment, the browser’s native loading indicator (in the URL bar or tab) provides feedback that a navigation event is in progress. However, since Playground runs entirely in-browser and within a sandboxed iframe-like environment, there is no equivalent visual cue available by default.
