Yes, you are right, I noticed this also with some heavy images.
I think this because when the app is loading image data will be busy and change the cursor, and for some reason still busy even after load image data.

picMain.Cursor = _isAppBusy ? Cursors.WaitCursor : Cursors.Default;

I think using "Cursors.WaitCursor" is needless, and at less for me it still busy a lot of times with no reason.

Also, the loading message, it became a little bit annoying, because when navigate fast with some heavy images, it still displays after the image complete loading for a quiet time (e.g. 5-10 Sec).
This happens sometimes.

I would request an option to disable the loading message.
An option in the setting would be nice.

Thanks!

I agree, both the loading circle and loading message are unnecessary, and instead of conveying any useful information they can be annoying when loading large size files.

OK, I've seen this myself, I'll dig into it further.

I've identified both a problem and a possible race condition with the 'Loading' message and busy cursor display. I'll be testing my changes to see if the problem continues.

The 'Loading' message is only supposed to appear if loading a given image takes longer than 2 seconds.
I can understand the desire to turn it off if it gets 'stuck'.
