Expected result
The new window should open smoothly without any visual disruption, maintaining the dark mode appearance throughout the process.
Actual result
When opening the current tab in a new window, there is a brief but noticeable white flash on the screen. This flash is particularly jarring and uncomfortable for users working in dark mode, especially in low-light environments.
