Deadlock when trying to close a tab with disconnected server

(Windows 10 22H2 19045.7291, WinSCP 6.5.6, SFTP)
1. New tab, connect to an SFTP server (some AWS Ubuntu in my case);
2. Switch to some other windows, leaving WinSCP in background;
3. Wait enough time for the server to drop/timeout the connection "due to no actions";
4. Switch back to WinSCP and immediately click the [x] (Close) button of that tab.

WinSCP locks, waits for some period, then flashes a dialog about "Server not responding", bu immediately closes it, and that just goes in cycles. No way to exit either then closing/terminating the process.

EXPECTED: if a server is disconnected AND the tab's Close button was pressed, don't attempt reconnecting. Just close the tab ignoring the connection state.
