Kendo ComboBox is showing four loading gears while fetching data from server

Kendo ComboBox is showing four loading gears when fetching the data from the server instead of one. Is it a design or bug? How can we fix it?

Steps to reproduce:

• Visit http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/combobox/serverfiltering
• In chrome Open developer tools -> Network -> check Offline
• Now type any three characters.

This is a bug, the background-repeat and background-position styles seem to be missing in the latest Kendo UI version. You can add them manually until the fix is applied out-of-the-box:

.k-i-loading,
.k-loading,
.k-loading-image {
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center center;
}
