So, this happened to me several times during last nights game, and by the end I was extremely frustrated.
Normally when viewing items in the fly-out window... the arrow to close the window is at the top... this is where it is 90% of the time, and you have conditioned us to use it there.
BUT... when I size my character sheet browser window to a narrower width, the flyout window functionally changes. Instead of the flyout window staying the same size and shape, it instead changes to a plain rectangle that spans the entire height of the browser window, AND the arrow button to close it moves from the top of the window to either disappear completely or if your browser is narrow enough, it moves to the bottom right.
The problem I experienced was this... In a normal sized browser window, the arrow button to close the flyout window is at the upper left (Outside) of the flyout. You have conditioned us to click there. Now though when my browser window is narrow, if I click in the same spot... I am above the character sheet frame, and actually clicking in the top page frame (DnD Beyond) which takes me to the DnD Beyond front page... In the middle of my game, usually during my turn. This really messes with a player mid game, potentially resetting hit points and spells used.
I know, the window is only sized this way because my browser window was narrow... but sometimes, you need to squeeze your character in next to your VTT.
I hope I gave enough understandable info to express my issue, it is difficult to illustrate without pictures.
