Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

Closing a modal when clicking outside/on the overlay is such a common pattern for me.

In Hoppscotch, some modals follow this, some do not.

Modals that do not close:

Support
Login to Hoppscotch
New collection
Collections
Save as
...?

Modals that do close:

Search
...?

I understand some of those that do not close should be left as is, so no data/input is lost, but some (like "Support" or "Login to Hoppscotch") do not have this need.

Why should this be worked on?

I think it's a very common pattern

@liyasthomas commented on GitHub (Sep 1, 2023):

The platform only allows popups to be closed by clicking outside. All modals that have a deliberate action cannot be closed by clicking outside the modal because closing would break some flow or may cause data loss.

Since this is an expected behavior I'm closing this issue ticket as not planned.
