Swagger-UI configuration options:
I use the default options. I simply copied the contents of the dist folder into a folder in my application. Then I created swagger.json in that folder, and I modified index.html to point to that JSON file. Swagger is statically served by a Go application.

Describe the bug you're encountering

If I enter a non-valid JSON into the text area for parameter map and I click execute, a spinning wheel appears and it just stays there forever. No request is received by the backend.

Older versions of swagger UI (e.g., 3.23.6 or 3.22.3) work correctly: the text area becomes red and a message stating that a valid JSON is required appears. So, the correct behavior must have been broken at some point after 3.23.6.

To reproduce...

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Statically serve the swagger.json shown above
2. Type some invalid JSON (e.g., foobar) in the only field
3. Click execute
4. See error

Expected behavior

Swagger UI should behave as it did in previous versions.
