I have just installed the latest version of Anki 2.1.50 on my MacBook Pro with M1 Pro. Of course I have installed the Apple Chip version. But now when I click on the “Add” button to create new cards the new window which is opening on my mac is not behaving as expected. - I can not close this windows with CMD+W - I can not use the menu bar as expected: In the **main window** I have the normal menu bar: ![Bildschirmfoto 2022-04-09 um 13.25.08](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/0/0c40dacd3af3a23eefcbe3eb318bbf753d5c154f.png) But in the menu bar of the “Add” window almost all buttons are missing except the “Anki” button. ![Bildschirmfoto 2022-04-09 um 13.25.39](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/2X/7/7cf69792a2a57854458e3a908b9328c91f6c7583.jpeg) ---

Those menu items will appear when the main screen is in focus, but not when the add window is in focus. I believe this is the intended behaviour? Most of the items there aren’t really relevant to the add screen (although perhaps undo should be there) ---

I do not think that this is the intended behavior because like you have said there must be an undo button, a make window fullscreen button and like I said a button to close the add window (cmd + w). ---

It was a deliberate change, as the shortcuts in the add screen conflict with ones from the browser menu. There are lots of screens in Anki that can’t be closed with Cmd+w, but Esc will generally work. ---

Well, all the main windows (Decks, Browse and Stats) have the normal macOS properties like Cmd+w, so i think it is quite unfortunate that almost every window has the normal shortcuts apart from the add window. Hopefully you can find a workaround or add a setting to change the shortcut conflict. ---
