Public bug reported:
- right click on a folder with a lot of gigabytes of contents
- select "Properties"
- look at the total size
The size shown increases while it is computed, until it finally stops
increasing.
No clue is given whether it is done computing or not.
Wnen it stops increasing for a few seconds for whatever reason, you
wonder whether it has reached the total or not, and you have no way to
know except wait a few seconds more, and if it still doesn't grow, you
can guess it's done.
A waiting animated icon or progress bar or "computing..." message should
be shown temporarily while the size is being computed, and disappear
when it's done.
