Hey, thanks for the report. A few users have run into this. It happens when a browser tab is open in a separate window.

Solution: Close the extra browser window and things should return to normal. Let me know if that’s not your case.

The team is actively investigating incoming bug reports.

alright, no i find the way to simulate it and also work-around it:

steps to reproduce:
drag the browser tab anywhere on screen to create a “extra browser window”

behaviour:
browser is floating on the screen as a top layer but without frame and buttons to close it, because

workaround for the issue:
on mac i use shortcut to switch between windows of the same app cmd+¨ so I can see the browser frame which is behind the main window and then i can close it
