Gallery editing stalls with this icon – what does it mean?
-
We run a site with some pretty large galleries (one example is in the link attached to this post). After upgrading PHP to 7.3, we’ve found that the big ones don’t load in the visual editor (Classic Editor). Instead, they display this animation, which seems like a good clue. Here’s a link to a GIF of the animation:

Can anybody tell me what this indicates? Again, only happens with big galleries (something over 100 images in the gallery). Smaller galleries open fine in the editor.
thanks in advance.

SOLVED: Ah. Sorry for the false alarm, but I’ll leave this here in case somebody else runs into this puzzler.
The problem was caused by upgrading from PHP 5 to PHP 7 in CPanel. I updated at the WHM level (the meta level above individual CPanel sites) and tweaked settings up there, thinking that the large gallery might be memory-bound. That didn’t work.
Then I discovered that the CPanel at the site level *also* has the ability to tweak PHP settings (in MultiPHP INI Editor). Opening execution time and memory up at the site level cured the problem. I just expanded everything that seemed relevant, so I don’t know which of these actually fixed it. Here are the ones I enlarged:
max_execution_time
max_input_time
memory_limit
post_max_size
upload_max_filesize
