Description
Feature request
Is your feature request related to a problem?
It is very easy to loose your email edits by simply clicking outside the modal or thinking discard changes means discarding your email image edits.
Describe the solution you'd like
Block closing email editor when clicking outside the modal, or better yet, make the email editor full screen so there is space to design the email.

Research direction
Start at the email editor modal and reproduce losing edits by clicking outside it or using the discard-changes control. Compare the two proposed approaches—blocking outside dismissal or making the editor full screen—and clarify the intended interaction before implementation. Done means email edits are not lost through an accidental modal close and the behavior is covered by the relevant UI checks.
