Problem description

no-one currently can cancel / close the sub-window opened by e.g. " clone repository ... " from file menu action .
same on windows 11 and debian 12 .

Preferred solution

I would advice to offer some way to cancel and close such " panel " , e.g. I changed my mind to do other actions and this "panel" gets in the way and closing is needed . to close the whole app and re-open it ... not an elegant way , it seems to me .

Alternatives

adding some way to close just this superimposed "panel" is enhancement to closing the whole app .

Screenshots

this panel / sub-window cannot be closed e.g. if I don't want to do anything of the offered options for action i.e. to cancel .

I agree this is not super intuitive, but does closing new tab work for you?

Maybe an extra "close" button on the panel itself (that closes the tab) would have been more intuitive here (but less minimalistic).

ah ! now ... I can relate : it is not superimposed , it is on a tab of its own .
thanks . that is enough for me . now I know and understand . sorry .

furthermore : what about covering all the rest in background ( misleading to me , but possibly others ) in order to highlight this " current logic " of " not a covering window but a tab of its own " ?

design choices maybe legacy of what is already there . I can relate possibly to some of that .
thanks again and sorry again .
