When you try to use a ps-block-ui inside of ps-table's psTableRowDetailTemplate the mat-spinner is not shown. The blocking backdrop is there. It seems to appear in cases where the block-ui is in a sub component.
Sample:
<!--Sub component looks like this-->
<my-subcomponent>
<ps-block-ui [blocked]="blocked">
...
</ps-block-ui>
</my-subcomponent>
<!--Implementation looks like this-->
<ps-table tableId="myId" [dataSource]="tableDataSource">
<ps-table-column property="A" [header]="'A'"></ps-table-column>
...
<ps-table-row-detail>
<ng-container *psTableRowDetailTemplate="let item">
<my-subcomponent></my-subcomponent>
</ng-container>
</ps-table-row-detail>
</ps-table>
