Description
### Expected Behavior
When clicking Create Snapshot, it is expected that the window for creating a snapshot appears (the window where the user can choose which changes to commit and enter a message describing the commit).
### Actual Behavior
What often happens is the dropdown containing the item disappears as expected, but there is no other response. The snapshot window does not appear, and no progress bar or error message appears. It is currently exhibiting this behavior as I type this, and restarting the application does not fix it.
### Reproduction Steps
1. Click the GitHub sync control at the center top of the screen next to the project name.
2. Click the Create Snapshot option.
3. The snapshot window does not appear.
### Is there an existing issue for this?
- [X] I have searched the [issue tracker](https://www.github.com/Kong/insomnia/issues) for this problem.
### Additional Information
This does not occur reliably; most of the time the menu item works correctly. Only occasionally does this problem present itself.

Research direction
Start at the GitHub sync control and its Create Snapshot action, then reproduce the intermittent failure on Windows 11 using the listed steps. Done means Create Snapshot consistently opens the snapshot window, or the application shows a progress state or error instead of silently closing the menu.
