To reproduce:

• go into the site-tree-only view
• switch to multi-selection view with the radio
• tick couple of pages (for example 5 of them)
• invoke batch action
• now guess: is it working or not? ;)

There's a completion feedback but not "whirling" icon to show it's processing. We should do this but it's not in the RC1 milestone anymore.

+1 (ss 3.3.1) When publishing a number of pages with batch actions it's taking a long time to finish, and users don't have a clue if it's still working, hangs or finished

4.x still has this issue. Batch actions has no loading indicator.

Fixed with https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/pull/8063 in 3.5, will be merged up and probably released in 3.7.1

Oops, still affects v4 - will re-label and leave open
