Same! I also noticed this, but thought it was something on my end.

Are you still experiencing this? I'm not able to reproduce this either locally or here on this forum on Chrome v107.

Yes, im still experiencing this, only happends installing the PWA, not in browser mode.

Same here. I don't need to press refresh though.

I assumed it was because when you click a link on the first page, the top loading bar is displayed (as part of that page), so when you click back it's in the same state as before.

It's still happening while pressing 'back'. Does anyone know where this infinite loading PWA navigation indicator is locate in the templates or it's CSS class? It's hard to debug when it only happens inside the PWA without proper dev tools.

^^ Okay found it apparently. For now just hiding it as it can't be reproduce by the devs.

In extra.less

.globalAction {
    display: none !important;
}

or Appearance > Style Properties > Misc > Global action indicator color set to 'transparent' without the ' '.

I seem to be able to reproduce this now. I think this has to do with the back/forward cache being widely available on Chrome now. I'll have to see what we can do to detect this.

I think I've got this sorted for 2.3, will see about backporting the fix to 2.2.
