VS debugger detaches after closing file picker in certain Chromium-based browsers

Describe the bug

When you implement a file upload using the <InputFile … /> or <input type="file … /> controls, the server process crashes with the message.

...\path\to\BlazorApp1\BlazorApp1\bin\Debug\net5.0\BlazorApp1.exe (process 31424) exited with code -1.
To automatically close the console when debugging stops, enable Tools->Options->Debugging->Automatically close the console when debugging stops.

when using Vivaldi Browser (Version 3.4.2066.106 (Stable channel) (64-bit))

To Reproduce

1. Create a new .Net 5.0 Blazor Server App
2. Change the Execution Text next to the “start”-Button in VS to your Projects name instead of “IIS Express”
3. Change the Browser that is used to start the project to Vivaldi
4. Open the Index.razor and paste the following at the end:

<InputFile OnChange="@UploadFile" />
@code{
    private void UploadFile() { }
}

1. Start the project and select a file. The server application will close after the select file dialog is gone.

I am not 100% sure, but it may not be a problem with Blazor itself but with the way how Visual Studio detects if the application Website was closed and will stop debugging then. Because: if I don’t use Vivaldi as the debugging browser but i.e. Chrome and open the website in Vivaldi manually and do the action above, everything is OK.

Exceptions (if any)

No Exceptions. Just the regular message, when an application stopped debugging.

...\path\to\BlazorApp1\BlazorApp1\bin\Debug\net5.0\BlazorApp1.exe (process 31424) exited with code -1.
To automatically close the console when debugging stops, enable Tools->Options->Debugging->Automatically close the console when debugging stops.

Thanks very much for checking! In that case, this is a VS issue, not a Blazor or ASP.NET Core one. Would it be possible for you to report it via the VS feedback feature?

I should also clarify that this is not a crash. It’s simply the VS debugger detaching, perhaps because it thinks the main browser window was closed when in fact it was only the file picker that was closed.

Makes perfect sense, as there are no exceptions to be found…program just ‘exits’.
