Chat Window: Unable to re-anchor the Chat window in Chrome after expanding/opening.

Chat Window: Unable to re-anchor the Chat window in Chrome after expanding/opening. Mac: OS: Mojave | Big Sur Chrome: Version 88.0.4324.150 (Official Build) (x86_64) Issue: Double clicking the Chat window to pop it out results in not being able to re-anchor it. Thus if i/one accidentally double clicks it, which i seem to often do, it opens up and my only option is to keep it open or reload the browser. Closing the popped out chat window causes it to close, not re-anchor.  Expectation: Closing the Popped out Chat window would result in the chat window being re-anchored.

As you report, this is a Chrome issue. It affects anything popped out: Chat, handouts, etc. I have reported it twice, as have others. feel free to add your voice in a  Help Center Request . This broke in Chrome in November(?), and has not been fixed. My guess is that the fix is not simple.

Heck, I went ahead and reported it a third time. Maybe it's the charm.
thanks keith, i tried to check to see if it had been reported, but didnt seem to see it. but i'll add it to the help center request. 
Might be helpful if Roll20 added a note to the Help Center articles for features that include pop-out that in some browsers/instances the pop-out cannot be redocked or closed without reloading the browser.
