Yes I understand your point but perhaps my description was not very useful.

The patch doesn't add any additional messages or output or anything which
indicates something is not ideal. Instead it renames the exiting 'Loading'
text to a arguably more descriptive 'Moving' text - and removes the message
all together when the move operation doesn't occur.
