"Processing..." indicator?
When an action that takes some time is started in Rider (like loading a solution, or starting a debug run), I somehow miss a message or so telling me that Rider is still working to complete the desired action.
For debug runs, I orient on the presence of the red stop button in the title bar, but for other actions, I don't see a clear indicator, so I simply wait a little longer, but that's a bit unsafe at times. Am I missing out something here?

Becrylen usually, when Rider is busy processing something that might “block” some actions like debugging or running the project, it will just schedule the task and start it as soon as it completes the “blocking” action. You should see long-running tasks in the status bar and, if there are multiple jobs, see a list of them in Window | Background Tasks | Show.
Generally, background jobs should be safe as the scheduled task will either started when the background job is complete or be cancelled on timeout in rare cases there is a very long-running task running in the background.
If you encounter any scenarios where Rider broke your workflow in some way, please let us know the details.
