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.

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.
