Description
Describe the bug
While opening the browser after not interacting with it for a while, pressing o or any key that opens the vomnibar causes the thing shown in the screenshot to popup. It doesn't get cleared with any key on the keyboard and can only be cleared with a mouse click. The issue goes away once i reload the tab.
Include a clear bug description.

Research direction
Start at the vomnibar behavior and reproduce the crash in Brave 1.78.102 on macOS 15.3.1 after leaving a tab idle, then pressing o. Compare the broken state with a reloaded tab; done means the vomnibar no longer shows the reported popup and can be cleared using keyboard input.
