Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. I did a search, which showed some hits
2. I think I first scrolled in the room where it had found hits, the clicked on one of the findings.
3. I see dialog window "Search failed - Signal is aborted without reason", which is stuck on top - cannot be dismissed by clicking on "OK" or the "X" to close.
4. I can click in the application menu, and some items respond but it is mostly broken, and the "Search failed..." is stuck on top

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported search flow on macOS: perform a search, scroll the room with results, and open a finding. Confirm whether the error dialog remains undismissable and leaves the application mostly unusable; a fix is complete when the dialog can be dismissed and the UI remains responsive.
