What happened?

After opening a Glance, closing it using the close tab shortcut, CTRL + W, closes it but it also breaks Zen and makes you unable to switch tab or open a new Glance.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a Glance.
2. Press CTRL + W to close the Glance.

I would expect (and want) the Glance to close without any issues, just like when you close it normally using the X button.

Reproducible?

• I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.

Hey @Tomveloper! 👋 I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you have in mind. I'm a bot designed to assist you while you wait for a human maintainer.

The issue you're experiencing with the Glance window breaking Zen when closed using the CTRL + W shortcut might be related to how the application handles tab management and switching. Unfortunately, I couldn't find specific information on how the CTRL + W shortcut is implemented or managed within the codebase. However, the Glance window lifecycle is managed by the following modules:

• content/browser/zen-components/ZenGlanceManager.mjs
• content/browser/zen-components/actors/ZenGlanceChild.sys.mjs
• content/browser/zen-components/actors/ZenGlanceParent.sys.mjs ^[1].

You might want to investigate these modules to understand how the Glance window is managed and how the CTRL + W shortcut might be affecting its behavior. Additionally, checking for any error handling mechanisms in these modules could provide insights into why the application breaks when using the shortcut.

Just checked, this issue has actually already been mentioned in #2526 too.

Oh sorry, I saw the video and it didn't showcase the bug so I assumed they were talking about something else.

It is fixed in Zen Twilight, the nightly version.
