Description
Expected behavior
Activating a theme from the theme browser should provide feedback to the user while the selected theme is loaded
Actual behavior
No feedback is provided to users until the theme is actually activated
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Go to "My Site/Themes" to visualize the theme browser
- Select "Activate" from the meatball menu of any theme that is not already activated
- Wait to see the alert that announces the activated theme. Nothing happens in between
