Closes #23055.

2020-06-16 12 20 02

When the user opts to create a Navigation block from an existing menu, let them click on the Create button immediately while we fetch the menu items in the background. This way we avoid disabling the Create button which is a pretty confusing UX.

To test:

  1. Ensure you have a Menu set up in /wp-admin/nav-menus.php.
  2. Insert a Navigation block.
  3. Use DevTools to throttle your network speed.
  4. Select a menu from the dropdown.
  5. Immediately click on Create.

Note that the Create button remains enabled while menu items are loaded in the background.

I simulated using the GPRS setting in the dev tools to test this and can confirm it works well!
