Waiting for the tutorial and other page elements to show up can be irritating. Show a spinner to indicate something is happening.
Fixed in r85465.
When I tried this on commons.prototype the spinner appeared above the UploadWizard and did not go away. Check your solution again with an empty cache?
Works for me in Firefox 4 and Safari. Are we testing the same page: http://commons.prototype.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard
Created attachment 8377 [details] screenshot of problem on Mac OS X Chrome 10 See attachment. I believe the problem is twofold: 1) When debug mode is off (as on prototype) ResourceLoader is going to load the spinner image and the rest of everything at the same time, within the same HTTP call. So if that's delayed, while RL packages something maybe, there's no benefit. 2) Something else about the way this loads is causing jQuery to get confused about making it visible. Possibly, since the div actually has zero content, it doesn't think it has to hide() it.
Also, another thing -- the spinner shouldn't be shown immediately. Otherwise we get a nasty flashing effect sometimes. It should only appear if the loading has taken more than 2 seconds. Easy to do with a timeout.
Okay, a bit of thrashing occurred as Kaldari and I overwrote each other's changes/ideas/concepts/whatever, but this appears to be fixed in r85517.
