"New sign-in. Was that you" and "Request keys" windows without function

Steps to reproduce

  1. Where are you starting? What can you see? After being stuck in the "encryption upgrade loop" and the "crosssigning loop" for some time I exported my keys and reset my encryption and crossigning and started from scratch and set up my 6 devices.
  2. What do you click? The appropriate interface options.

Outcome

What did you expect?

Everything worked and correctly except 2 messages which ende up withput keys. I can live with that.

What happened instead?

But again I got stuck with 2 windows that would not go away.

  1. On Element-desktop "New sign-in. Was that you?" - I clicked yes on one of my other devices. Now the message is stuck on one device and I cannot click "yes" anymore. Nothing happens. The window is unresponsive.
  2. On Element-web "Use another device to load encrypted messages" - I can click to request keys but nothing happens - keys are lost. The window is responsive but useless.

It would be nice if both windows would just go away. No. 1 is definitely a bug. No. 2 is just annoying.
