Bug: Clicking a plugin's settings (gear) icon in the "Browse" plugin directory closes the entire Settings window instead of opening plugin settings

Environment

  • Claude desktop app version: 1.26832.0
  • macOS: 26.5.1 (build 25F80)
  • Org: Kapitable (2 org plugins installed: "Marketing", "Dev", both sourced from kapitable/ai-os)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Settings → Plugins (org plugin list showing "Marketing" and "Dev").
  2. Click Browse — this opens a "Directory" dialog on top of the Plugins settings window, showing the same plugins as cards with a gear icon on each.
  3. Click the gear icon on either plugin card (e.g. "Dev").

Expected behavior

The gear icon opens that plugin's settings/detail view.

Actual behavior

The click closes both the Directory dialog and the underlying Plugins settings window in one action, dropping straight back to the Home screen. The plugin settings view never opens.

Suspected cause

The Directory dialog is a modal stacked on top of the Plugins settings window. The gear icon's click handler likely doesn't call stopPropagation(), so the click bubbles up to an outer "click outside to close" listener. Because two modals are nested, that single bubbled event closes both layers instead of stopping at the first.

Notes

  • Reproduced consistently via screen recording; happens on both plugin cards, not specific to one plugin or its source repo.
  • Recording available on request.
