Describe the bug
The issue occurs in latest version 21.8.2, when the startup dialogue does not close after selecting Create New Diagram or Open Existing Diagram.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open Draw.io desktop.
2. Click on either Create New Diagram or Open Existing Diagram.
3. Draw.io file successfully created/opened but the startup dialogue still not close.

Expected behavior
The startup dialogue should close after selecting Create New Diagram or Open Existing Diagram.

Screenshots

draw.io version (In the Help->About menu of the draw.io editor):

• draw.io version 21.8.2

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11 Education with latest update.

Additional context
I believe the version before 21.8.2 is working correctly without this issue. There must be something wrong with the new release.

Workaround: you can open a dialog by using Windows explorer and doubleclicking the item as long as you have the file associations setup.

It only does not work when you open draw.io and selecting "Open an existing diagram".

Try 22.0.0. We can't reproduce it, but there's a change in the core in dialog ordering which is likely related to this.

[Rainmaker52]

22.0 is... different.

I'm now getting this behavior:

• Clicking "New" hides the dialog
• The "unsaved document" popup comes up
• The dialog New/Open re-appears

If I don't have "unsaved documents", the buttons now work as expected.

So, it's probably related to the "Select a draft" dialog.

Agree with @Rainmaker52 . After upgrading to 22.0, if I start Draw.io desktop, and if there's a draft available to select, the dialogue "Select a draft to continue ..." will appear. If I cancel it and select open exist diagram instead, the startup dialogue reappears again. However, this time I'm able to close it with X button.

[davidjgraph]

OK, we'll create a new issue and take a look since the status of the issue depends on the initial report.

What I'm more interested in is the steps you're following to get a draft. How are so many people loading with a draft unsaved? Do you kill -9 the app to close it....

[Rainmaker52]

Just shutting down while draw.io is open should be enough.

I think this happened by Windows deciding it was time to update, without giving me any say in whether or not it should reboot.

I've had the dialog ever since, but never really cared enough to pay attention to it.

[davidjgraph]

Please try 22.0.1.

The issue I mentioned above is fixed in 22.0.1. Thanks.
