Hello @ProjeDEV 🙂

I don’t encounter the issue here with the light theme.

Can you reproduce the issue here on meta or on [try.discourse.org](http://try.discourse.org)?  
If not, can you enable the [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) on your own forum and see if it fixes the issue?

Hi,I’ve just test-rebuild it a minute ago. Now, my test site is ok. By the way the problem still exist on try & meta-discourse-org.

Thanks.

I’ve tested on chrome and opera. My project uses Version 3.1.0.beta2 - [c8a4081a21]. And it’s ok, it works.

Ahhh I see now, totally overlooked it at first — we don’t show the minimize button until a message is sent. So if I click on the + in the sidebar to start a new personal chat, I get the window with the ability to add people, and that hides the minimize button.

Then if I send a message, it appears again

So we should update this so the minimize button is present in while editing users. Thanks @ProjeDEV!
