Do you have an OS setting for reduced motion?

Hi Ed,

Thanks for your reply. It seems that I have the "Turn off all unnecessary animations (when possible)" option enabled on OS Settings. I just disabled this option and now the spinning animation is displayed. I didn't know about this option, sorry for this.

Considering this I will close this issue as Resolved - WFM.
