Bug description:
Several scopes include online content by default. However, none of
them display anything to indicate that they are loading data from the
internet, so it can be hard to tell it's doing anything because it
looks like it's just a blank page indefinitely until content shows up.
The scopes with this issue are (at least) the click store scope, the
music scope, and the video scope. It's especially noticeable in the
click store, because after tapping "Ubuntu Store", the page is simply
blank for long enough that users might hit the back button before
anything loads. That's actually how this issue was brought to my
attention; I gave the phone to a muggle and asked them to install an
app, and they thought I was trying to trick them by telling them to
use an app store with no apps, so they hit 'back' before anything
loaded.
Some sort of 'loading' animation would be very helpful for avoiding
this sort of misunderstanding, and also for letting the user know when
their data connection is being used. (might also be nice to light up
the 'transfers' indicator while the loading is in progress, in
addition to some sort of visual cue in the blank part of the content
area)
