No, there it would be running to, as that indicates that there's no
size available due to a currently running job; or do you mean
something else?

To clarify, I'd explicitly only left-align those spinners for when
used as job running spinners, not for loading – and IIRC we do not
have any per-cell or per-row loading indicators anyway, as we always
load all data of a grid at once (or at least fake doing so), but never
row or even cell-wise.

So moving this new alignment behavior into its own class, that derives
from the ExtJS one, seems more reasonable to avoid odd rendering issues
for the cases where the left-alignment isn't desired.

If we then add a text to that is an independent decision, but it surely
wouldn't hurt accessibility.
