Unclear when model is busy or awaiting user input #3761

Closed

Description

Before version 1.0.0, it was easy for me to tell when the model was "busy" because there was a blinking "Working..." indication. However, with the new version, it isn't always clear whether the model has completed its task or is still working.

The same issue arises when the model is waiting for user input. For example, in the screenshot, the Permission required message remains visible. However, if the output of git status is lengthy, that message might move out of view.

I would appreciate a clearer indication of when something is happening or when the model is waiting for my input.

    This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

    • [FEATURE]: progress indicator #3742: [FEATURE]: progress indicator - requests indicator showing whether response is in progress or finished, which is the same core need for visual feedback about model status

    Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

    Regarding this part, don't you see an animation like this?

    Or do you think this is insufficient?

    It's hard to notice the animation in light mode

    Yes. Progress seems light mode-specific.

    If that is more clear, will it also keep blinking when waiting for user input?

    if you look real close you see some animation. But it's really minimal. In dark mode I do see it more clear. I use the catppuccin theme

    also, not sure if it is in the same place. But I gave it a big task and it is doing a lot of work, but the progress bar seems stuck at times:
