There should be this button on the top-right corner:

But you should update your instance anyway.

Unable to see that it seems.

Updated info.

This happened using Edge but in Firefox no such issue.

Well…it seems it is something specific to our site.

Here, no problems minimizing again.

Clearing site cookies, history etc. and reloading and logging in again fixed the issue.

But it definitely seems to be some kind of conflict with our site theme.

I will need to investigate that one another time.

Thanks everyone, marking as solved (for now).
