When you click the Install or Update buttons, the progress feedback UI appears in the sidebar. However the feedback UI is in the bottom-left corner while the buttons you click to make it appear are in the top-right corner! This makes it easy to miss that it appeared, since your eyes won't be looking there. The problem becomes more significant the larger the window is. We should consider moving the progress feedback UI into the top-right corner somehow, so it appears where you're looking for it.

Git commit a5edba99485bb1ba9dea820149fd4c858721de5b by Nate Graham. Committed on 19/03/2025 at 23:11. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Show transaction progress at point of use Right now when you install an app from the application page, the progress indicator appears in the bottom-left corner of the window, which is the opposite corner from where the user's pointer is located and where their eyeballs are looking. It's easy to miss. This commit changes that by moving the progress information into the location where the user just clicked and is still looking. The old transaction progress overview is hidden while there's only one in-progress transaction and it's already visible on the page.
