Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Comfy-Org/desktop/issues/1136

Frontend Version

Frontend v1.17.11

Expected Behavior

Click a web link and it opens in your default browser.

Actual Behavior

If you click some links in the desktop app such as found in the "WanVideo Enhance-A-Video" node help icon it will take you to the page within the app but there seems to be no way to get back again. No forward/back buttons, backspace, F11, right click, Ctrl+Left arrow all do nothing helpful. It seems the only option is to quit the app.

Steps to Reproduce

load a "WanVideo Enhance-A-Video" node and click the link in the help icon

Debug Logs

Nothing useful logged

Browser Logs

Setting JSON

comfy.settings.json

Hi, @Spacedg. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the desktop team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

You reported that in frontend v1.17.11, clicking certain web links (e.g., the help icon in the "WanVideo Enhance-A-Video" node) opens the page inside the desktop app.
This behavior locks the UI as there is no way to navigate back, and standard navigation shortcuts do not work.
The only recovery method is to quit the app completely.
A maintainer suggested this might be related to KJNodes, indicating a potential area for investigation.
The issue remains unresolved with no recent updates.

Next Steps:

Please let me know if this issue is still relevant with the latest version of the desktop app by commenting here to keep the discussion open.
If I do not hear back within 7 days, I will automatically close this issue.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!
