Description

If you connect your wallet via metamask, but are signing on a Ledger hardware wallet, you get the following error if you don't have your Ethereum application selected on the hardware device and you click "sign" in metamask

Selecting the eth app on the device and trying again works. Expected behavior here would just be a more instructive error message.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the signing flow through MetaMask with a Ledger device while the Ethereum application is not selected, then trace the resulting error handling. Done means the failure explains that the Ethereum application must be selected and signing still succeeds after selecting it.
