Description Jeff McAffer CLA 2011-03-03 20:33:16 EST 
on a slowish network adding a site like helios or indigo to a target platform can take a while to get the metadata.  During this time the user typically sees a modal Add Content dialog.  In many cases that dialog covers a large chunk of the underlying IDE including the progress reporting in the status line.  Consequently, the user is left wondering what is going on. 

There appears to be space in the dialog at the bottom to have a progress bar.  We should use that to tell the user what is happening.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
