Describe the improvement
When the Discover Packages or Software Updates tabs are searching, the only way to know there is activity happening on either is by checking their tab and seeing the thin line which goes form left to right at the top indicating searching. If the Software Updates tab is updating packages, the thin line for activity appears at the bottom of the UI for each package updating.
Describe how this improvement could help users
If the square tabs on the left sidebar also showed some activity indicator, we'd know activity is happening regardless of which tab we're on.
Please confirm these before moving forward.
