For example, try clicking [edit] at [[Glossary of chess#G]]. The text just goes gray, there is no indication that anything is happening.
This is because the progress indicator always appears at the top of the page.

So we just want to fix the loading bar at a certain position on the screen?
I'm thinking of something like this in modules/ve-mw/init/styles/ve.init.mw.ViewPageTarget.css under ".ve-init-mw-viewPageTarget-loading {":
+ position: fixed;
+ right: 5%;
+ top: 16%;
Seems reasonable, although we might want to make it stand out against non-flat-white backgrounds.

Put it in with a pure-white background with a 2px margin, then? Maybe Trevor has a view re. design?

I tried this but it still appeared over the top of text. :/
I've merged in two related bug reports--please note that these bugs bring up an additional usability issue. If the GUI is not disabled during load, the editor can end up in an annoying situation, such as manually scrolling to the section to edit, then having their work bumped off the page by the onLoad scroll action.
