Description

**Describe the bug**

Whenever I start a Send, if I add a recipient and quickly go to the next page, if the address hasnt' been completely 'parsed' the next screen stays loading indefinitely, no matter if I refresh the browser.

**Expected behavior**

No loading indefinitely -- should be able to recover from that state

**Screenshots/Recordings**

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start a Send
2. Select an asset
3. Add a recipient -> to easily reproduce the issue, add an ENS address so the time to 'parse' is longer (ie vitalik.eth)
4. Quickly click next (if no luck, go back and click next again very fast)

**Error messages or log output**

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Send flow in Chrome with an ENS recipient such as vitalik.eth, then click Next before the address finishes parsing. Trace the Send page's loading and recovery behavior; done means the next screen no longer remains indefinitely loading and the flow can recover after refresh.
