Right now there is a progress indicator that shows on the grid when the data is being read. Could this indicator also be shown during save operations? Right now when you save there is a brief delay while the save operation is taking place where to the end user it looks like nothing is happening.
Shipped, check this demo - http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/editing
I already use this method to display progress, nut I hope this workaround will be obsolete in future.
This should be at least an option in the grid's configurations. The indicator should also appear in edit mode "popup" inside the window.
