We’ve recently experienced a huge number of 502 errors (not a Discourse issue). The error message pop-up cannot be dismissed by keyboard.

Other pop-ups can be dismissed with Enter and I would expect this to be the same.

Any idea why this dialog would be behaving differently @eviltrout?

I thought Robin isolated this to be an issue with an extension you have, @santouras ?

That prevents closing the 502 error dialog box? The 502 error was likely due to a customization, but closing the dialog box should be core right?

Actually, no - that uses Esc.
