New document screen doesn't close upon creating new document, locking me out of program
The following issue has popped up a couple times now: I'll be working in Illustrator (Windows 10) and want to create another new document. I'll navigate to File>New and be faced with the New Document popup. I'll select my desired parameters and hit "create," and the document will be created behind the popup -- but the popup won't close, and I can no longer click the main Illustrator window to work behind it. I've had to use Ctrl-Alt-Del every time this happens; there's no opportunity to save work. (This has only ever happened when I've had Illustrator already open, never upon starting the program.)

@Egor Time will tell if the issue happens in this interface, but I doubt that it will based on what I'm seeing; this definitely seems promising! Thanks!

I hate these modern dialogs. It’s not the only time these lock up from using it further :(
That’s why I always disable this interface and use an older reliable one, with Preferences > General: Use legacy "file New" interface option.
This is a workaround, I know, but it helps me to keep my sanity.
