[Bug]: Site closes when opening

[zyrouge]

Verified issue does not already exist?

• I have searched and found no existing issue
• I will be providing steps how to reproduce the bug (in most cases this will also mean uploading a demo budget file)

What happened?

The web app closes when attempting opening. It occurs very frequently to me. It is just a plain instance with zero data. I've attached a clip of it happening. This has happened for me on Firefox (desktop) and on Brave (mobile).

Something similar to history.back() seems to be happening. I'm willing to open a PR if you could guide where it is happening.

Are you using an authentication front end that might be redirecting you? If you open the developers console, are there any errors or indication of what is happening? I've never experienced anything like this, and over the past couple of years there haven't been any reports like this. I have a feeling this is specific to your setup.

No authentication, no errors in console and also no redirects in networks. It does seem very weird to me.

👋 How can we reproduce this issue?

I've never seen this issue before on my instance, so I wonder if this is actually something to do with the way how you host the app.

I used podman to run the image. After setting the password, I just closed the site. Re-opening the plain instance might close the site. This occured both on my local PC and my VPS.

Did some testing and could confirm that it only occurs in an empty instance. This issue disappeared when I added a account.

My guess would be that this line is causing the issue. But I'm not sure why.. and haven't been able to reproduce.

Managed to reproduce on https://demo.actualbudget.org

1. open https://demo.actualbudget.org and create an empty budget
2. close the tab
3. open https://demo.actualbudget.org/accounts
4. close the tab
5. open https://demo.actualbudget.org/accounts
6. 💣

Do you think it would cause problems if we removed this line?
