Description of the problem

When typing in a name for a new repo, if I hit "return" instead of clicking the button to export the sandbox, the export fails to create the repo with all files included. What happens is the repo is created under the name provided but it is completely empty. Only after refreshing the page entirely, then entering a new repo name and clicking the button below the input field does it export correctly.

How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish?

Minor inconvenience.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the export flow in the CodeSandbox client, comparing pressing Return in the repository-name field with clicking the export button. Trace the two event paths and verify that both create a GitHub repository containing all sandbox files, without requiring a page refresh.
