When chat is on the bottom right of the screen it’s got a “\<” back button icon beside the person’s name. When you expand the chat window there’s no “\<” button any more, so you need to minimise the chat window first. Is there a way round this? Thanks.

When you are in full page mode, the back button is the back button of your browser

No way! I’d never have realised. Thanks.
