- Modify Company or Title fields
- See fields bump to the left while loading icon appears.

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.
