missing progress indicator makes Photo freeze

[Fritz_H]

1. Open a large image-file, in my case it´s an 85MB TIFF.
2. edit something
3. Close the Photo
4. Photo will ask: save changes?
5. click YES
                note: save-dialog closes but nothing seems to happen.
6. (don´t wait:) Close the application again
7. Photo will ask: save changes?
8. wait...
9. .. until Photo managed to finish saving the file in the background from Step 5 (= the image disappears..)
10. The dialog fom Step 7 will stay on screen, Photo is frozen.


Problems:

A. No progress-indicator showing that file-save is in progress
B. Application is not locked until save is completed. (= Photo still allows user-interaction..)

Hey Fritz_H,

I do get a progress bar—I'm not sure why you aren't unless the save is happening within 2 seconds (which I think is how long it takes to throw upt he dialog). 

Any other clues? I'd like to see if anyone else can repo this as well.

Thanks for your fast response.
The main issue is, that the interface is not locked but still responsive to user-interaction while the save-task is still in progress - without any visual feedback.

Pease note at the end of the clip:
the image is gone but the image-name is still in the window-titlebar and the layer is also still visible but the application is frozen.

I've been unable to replicate this, on my Win 10 system. I do have a small tablet/pc running Win 8.1 but it is not 64 bit.
