The progress bar isn’t displaying during form submissions. Is there a way to enabled this? Seems a little jarring to have no feedback to the user that the form has been submitted but the response hasn’t been received yet.

The progress bar is displayed on a Turbo visit action. Form submissions are not visits so they won’t display the navigation bar. If you’re on rails, using `disable_with` Is a great option to convey progress on forms. You can add animated icons/svgs to buttons to make it even nicer

I don’t think that you can enable this at the moment. There is a pull request which adds this functionality, unfortunately I don’t know if it’s going to be merged in or not.
