The visual designer uses a 'Loading, Please wait...' screen when opening the first page of a project. This should be extended to also happen when opening pages that take time to come up (e.g. opening subsequent pages in a project or switching to a designer tab when the layout needs to be recomputed).
Yes, this could be done, just there is a possible issue if this is fast enough, so there are no flickers. I think this should a RFE.
Fixed. I've put there message "Reloading, please wait..." on panel which is transparent and below user can see the not-yet-reloaded designer. It disappears once the model is ready.
