Description
I tried Press This in WP admin: wp-admin/press-this.php
I added wrong URL address because there was small copy and paste error. After clicking Scan, there is no message that URL was not find/recognized. No chance to add different URL address, because URL field is away.
And there is no way how to return back to WP admin?

The site name in the header is linked to the Dashboard.

Replying to DrewAPicture:

The site name in the header is linked to the Dashboard.
My site name is linked directly to website (opened in new window) and not Dashboard?

It links to the the website and not the admin. It's an extra tap to get to the dashboard from there.

That site name was originally thought out to become a menu once clicked, giving site switching options to the user. This wasn't implemented (yet?) but the link stayed. I think going to wp-admin is a better link as well.
Q: should we make it filterable, while we're at it?

Yes, I expected to go back to Dashboard when clicking on site name. I was surprised to be redirected to frontend (and in newly opened window). Currently there is no easy way to go back to Dashboard from Press This tool page.

With PT moving to a plugin, broke this into two issues:
https://github.com/WordPress/press-this/issues/3 (failed to scan a site)
https://github.com/WordPress/press-this/issues/4 (button to wp-admin)
and marking this ticket as invalid since it is now outside the scope of this Trac now.
When using the bookmarklet, I'm okay not showing an error/way to back out generally, since if you can see it, it suggests the URL should work.
Possible cases of error:
Perhaps a small "Error: We were not able to fetch data at the URL" and revealing the scan URL box pre-filled with what was attempted.
