What's Wrong?

Claude code doesn't show progress indicator at times when something is running.
I don't know how to reproduce, but I have experienced it a lot of times.
In the given image, claude code is working and does things after the image was taken, but still there is no progress icon or works that come at bottom left which shows if its working or not

What Should Happen?

It should show some kind of indicator to know that its still running tasks in background and waiting on them. like progress bar, or just a spinning wheel.
