Description

Describe the bug

When modifying the Company or Title fields on a contact, the loading icon

appears to the right of the window and causes the fields to be moved left until the loading indicator disappears.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Go to Contacts
  2. Edit a contact
  3. Modify Company or Title fields
  4. See fields bump to the left while loading icon appears.

Actual behavior

Company/Title fields bump left while loading icon is active

Research direction

Start in the Contacts contact-edit form and reproduce the layout shift while changing the Company or Title field. The fix is complete when the loading indicator appears without moving either field; no source file or test is identified in the issue, so trace the form from the Contacts entry point.
