Description

I don't get this behavior every single time that I interact with one of the options, but it happens enough that I figured I would log it. When I open the import modal on iPad, and tap especially the outer "Import File" or "Your GitHub Repo" options, a project underneath gets highlighted.

Expected behavior
When a modal is open, tapping should only interact with the import modal content, not with the content underneath.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: iPadOS 26.5
  • Browser: Chrome

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the import modal on iPadOS 26.5 using Chrome, focusing on the outer "Import File" and "Your GitHub Repo" options. Trace the modal's tap handling and verify that tapping an option no longer highlights or interacts with a project underneath while the modal is open.
