Description of the issue: How can this issue be reproduced?
The icon is inactive, not bold like the X and minimize buttons
I can’t click on it
This happened after I did the recent brave update yesterday
Can you provide the Brave version and OS you are using? You can find the information in brave://version - just copy/paste the first three lines into your post.
I can’t help, but there is another user who is experiencing the same problem. Maybe you can track that topic in case someone posts a solution there. No solutions yet but hopefully someone, either another community member or a moderator can help.
OS and Brave version would be quite useful. On my end I don’t see this issue on my Windows system — I’m able to maximize the the browser without any issue.
Yes, I have some, but no any new ones, so it shouldn’t be it. But I just found out another thing. I am able to use maximize button, becaouse when I click on it and hold, it appears next to the original one, see screenshot. Then I move coursor, release it, and it’s done. Weird…
I’ve reached out to some of our team to take a look at this this because this is a particularly strange issue. I’m also curious if you see this behavior in MS Edge and/or Chrome browsers as well or if this is specific to Brave?
Glad it is now working as intended! The above may have had something to do with it. The team fixes issues in stealth mode sometimes.
You should mark the topic you created solved. Just reply to your post and if you would, please include a link to this one. This post had some things to check that could help someone else troubleshooting issues.
I’m glad it’s working, but I think I’ll leave this thread open for now in the event the issue occurs again — especially since we don’t know the cause or the solution at this time.
Did you try all the things suggested by Mattches in his replies above? I would work through those and see if your issue persists. Also, you might want to try closing anything else that may be open and try opening just Brave to see if the problem persists.
Tagging @Mattches so he is aware another user is experiencing the problem.
Thank you for the update @bigwillis234.
Note that the team is aware of this issue and will look into possible causes. Please let us know if the issue shows up again.
