Can confirm the issue, yeah. We should do better here. *** Bug 471460 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Git commit 0c72dcdac54dcdfb89029fbd39373157a22a79dc by Nate Graham, on behalf of Rishi Kumar. Committed on 13/11/2023 at 18:29. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Improve loading animation Previously the user was made to wait for a full-window overlay loading animation to be finished if they scrolled even a bit more by accident to view the previously-fetched data, which felt frustrating. This commit replaces that overlay with a busy indicator in the header.

This annoyed me so much today :D |
Created attachment 161285 [details] Suggested change I have found most information does not apply to this issue so I've not included it. In KDE, the content downloader (for wallpapers, themes, icons, etc) is extremely intrusive, with a loading overlay that becomes annoying quickly when not using a very fast internet connection. Every X amount of scrolls down the popup re-appears and is annoying to deal with because it flashes content in and out of the screen. Instead, i propose that there be a small indicator at the bottom of the list that only appears when the list is trying to load more content, like in the image i have attached. I would greatly appreciate if this would be considered, and if this is in the wrong category, please point me in the right direction on where to open an issue.
