Bug summary

The 'Create' menu, which shows a list of all possible content types you can create a node for is sometimes really slow to load. But there is no indication that it's loading.

Specifics

I have a long 'create' menu and sometimes it's a bit slow. Now that is not the issue I'm raising here, because it happends sometimes when the cache hasn't been properly loaded or when I'm in debug mode.

However, there is no feedback that the create menu is loading at all. It just shows the message that there are no allowed document types:

When it's slow, it sometimes takes 10 seconds to load the menu and even I as a developer have wondered a few times if I broke something, only for it suddenly pop up with to the correct options:

I usually tend to forgive small UX things because I know it will get better. However, in this case, it's really bad design. If I got caught out by this a few times, editors definitely will as well.

Steps to reproduce

Expected result / actual result

Ideally, the create menu should never be slow, but when it is (when the cache is not yet loaded, bad network conditions etc), it should at least show a loading message or icon instead of the message that there are no document types that can be created.
