bug: blank window after quitting the dashboard or typing window

OS: Arch Linux
WM: Swayfx
Terminal: kitty

I'm using latest version of neovim. When I try to exit from the typing UI it shows only a blank window without any content in it. Also I can't quit typr or neovim.

or this happens when dashboard is enabled. can you try with a new file?

I don't know if this is related but after closing the Dashboard, an overlay remains that dims my screen.

@siduck Hitting <ESC> feeds q which seems to cause that. Could this be changed to use nvim_win_close()?
For everyone facing this issue close it out with this command: :lua vim.api.nvim_win_close(0, false)

Note: Try it out with nvim -u repro.lua (repro.lua)

@davidsteinberger i dont see why hitting esc feeds q? where do you get that from

Sry, spoke too soon. Volt hast 2 close methods and I looked at the wrong one. The point still holds though:
Both keys are mapped by volt and call utils.close(val) but that might leave the window intact.

For testing purpose I simply checked the win in the after_close callback and closed it there:

volt.mappings {
  bufs = { state.buf, dim_buf },
  winclosed_event = true,
  after_close = function()
    if api.nvim_win_is_valid(state.win) then
      api.nvim_win_close(state.win, false)
    end
    state.reset_vars()
  end,
}

volt just has 2 mappings, both dont conflict etc. the question's that why does it happen only when dashboard is in the background?
