Hi! I am currently running into an issue where my Anki keeps quitting if I browse through my decks. I am on a mac with an M1 chip.

Essentially – I’ll hit browse, and the window for browsing will open and for some reason take up my entire screen. Then, if I try to make it smaller or move it, Anki just quits suddenly.

I’ve tried disabling all add-ons, restarting my computer, and downloading the latest version of anki. I also checked my database. But it keeps doing this! I am panicking a little tbh, I have a huge medical board exam in 3 weeks. Has anyone ever run into this problem before?
