Description
**Describe the bug**
Currently, when a user attempts to send a transaction with a low nonce, no notification is displayed. The submitted transaction briefly appears as "Signed" before disappearing from the Activity tab, and a console error—'Internal JSON_RPC error'—is shown. I'm not certain if the warning previously shown for high nonce transactions has been removed, but at the moment, no such warning is displayed either.

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the low-nonce transaction in Chrome on version 12.23.0 and trace the transaction's disappearance from the Activity tab and the internal JSON-RPC error. Done means the user receives an appropriate notification when the transaction is rejected for a low nonce.
