+  const cancelEditing = () => {
+    setEditing(false);
+  };


Invalidate pending address submissions on cancel

When a URL submission is still pending, the blur/Escape path calls this cancellation helper without changing latestSubmissionRef. If the user clicks away or starts a new draft before the previous onNavigate promise settles, that older promise can still pass the latest-submission check and close/refocus the newer edit state, so rejected loads may no longer remain editable and stale navigations can clobber the active draft. Incrementing/canceling the submission token when leaving edit mode avoids that race.

+    && params.allowpopups === true
+    && params.preload === '';


Accept the real webview attachment parameters

When the browser tab mounts its <webview>, Electron passes will-attach-webview params as attribute strings (and omitted attributes are not guaranteed to appear), while the renderer sets allowpopups="" and no preload attribute. This exact check rejects the only intended browser webview before it can attach, so opening the new web browser tab leaves no registered guest and all toolbar/address navigations fail with “guest is unavailable”.

+      pendingRecoveryUrlRef.current = null;
+      if (!recoveryUrl) return;
+      void runNavigation(recoveryUrl, false);


Preserve requested crash-recovery navigation

If a new browser navigation is requested while the webview is on the crash screen, recovery still stores the stale lastAllowedUrl; when the replacement attaches, consumeRequestedNavigation() runs first and then this recovery load immediately navigates back to the old crashed URL. This affects flows like choosing “open in built-in browser” from a file card after a webview crash and then pressing Recover, where the explicit file URL is overwritten instead of being loaded.
