Description
### Is there an existing issue for this?
- [X] I have searched the [issue tracker](https://www.github.com/Kong/insomnia/issues) for a bug that matches the one I want to file, without success.
### Insomnia Version
2021.6.0-alpha.0 and any prior version I tried
### What operating system are you using?
Windows
### Operating System Version
Windows 11 Pro 21H2 22000.194
### Installation method
github releases exe installer
### Last Known Working Insomnia version
none
### Expected Behavior
Don't overwrite my stuff?
### Actual Behavior
Insomnia gets "confused" and begins duplicating and editing fields that aren't even active. Can't find a workaround.
### Reproduction Steps

### Additional Information
Nothing about the bug logged, just requests.
Using the alpha because there's a bug for several versions where it doesn't update URL PREVIEW when you change/add query parameters and/or values.
Haven't been using this for long at all, probably last 3-4 versions. It's always been buggy but this one is a bit of a show stopper.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by watching the linked reproduction video and reproducing the query-parameter edits in Insomnia 2021.6.0-alpha.0 on Windows 11. Trace the query-field and URL-preview behavior from there; done means inactive fields are neither duplicated nor edited and the URL preview updates correctly when query parameters or values change.
