On observation I see that state changes aren’t propagated before the the browser opens, so if I try to, for example, respond to the click event by showing a loading spinner, the spinner doesn’t actually show up after the click. It takes a second (or fraction of) before it shows up, and then is immediately hidden by the browser.
