Description
Current interaction
Use case: I accidentally saved a typo when renaming a block. When I try to rename the block to correct my error, the edit icon is unavailable.
Currently we do not allow re-editing until the initial edit has propagated down the search index, so the edit icon and rename is disabled until the name change has finished percolating.
Proposed Solution
When you rename a block in a course authoring page, a loader appears showing that the rename is saving.
I propose adding the same spinner loader to content library rename actions to give users visibility of the state.
