The "Close" button no longer works

Hello:

 

I recently discovered a chronic problem using DW 2021 v. 21.1 (on a Mac using Big Sur v. 11.3).

 

When I finish using the Find and Replace in Files feature, it's impossible to close that window.

I shut down and relaunched DW. When I opened that Find and Replace in Files window, the Close icon is greyed out and non-functional. I must drag it off the screen or restart DW to get it to disappear.

 

here's a screenshot documenting the greyed out or empty Close button.

 

How should I pursue correcting this recurring problem?

 

Warren

    Try hitting the Esc key.  It works for me. 🙂

    Restart computer.

    If you continue to have trouble in DW, try Restoring Preferences.  That fixes most problems.

    Yes. That works for me also. Hoooooray!

    I trust that you've advised engineers of this problem and will correct it in the next version.

     

    Thanks, again, Nancy!

    No I did not report it to the DW engineers because 1) it's NOT my problem and 2) I don't have Big Sur. 

    If you care to submit a bug report, feel free to do it from your DW Help menu.  That's what it's there for.
