- The original form page shows continuous loading and does not proceed to the next step.
- Closing the "Legal Scan" tab allows the form to proceed and the next-step dialog to appear.
- A message "Legal scan finished" may appear in the new tab.
- Observed in multiple browsers (for example, Chrome and Edge).

Reproducing the Issue

- Ensure the form template has Legal Scan enabled and Legal Scan on Route enabled.
- Complete all required fields and select Submit.
- Observe that a new browser tab titled "Legal Scan" opens.
- Return to the form tab and observe continuous loading; the next-step dialog does not display until the "Legal Scan" tab is closed.
Cause
Resolution
