Bug: Instant Chat Bar bugs on 3.1
Mac OS Tahoe, Bolt 3.1
Ok, so v3 brings lots of great features, so I don’t want to moan. But it has totally broken my most common daily workflow, which is: Pull up the instant chat bar by shortcut, ask a question, minimize many times to view other windows, then eventually kill the instant chat bar once done.
Problems with v3:
There is no way that I can find (either by shortcut, or even by cursor) of hiding the instant chat bar in a way that brings it back, chat included. Previously hitting the instant chat bar shortcut did this. Now the only options are Command+H or Command+W: neither work the same way.
Taking the best available option and killing instant chat bar chats with Command+W leaves zombie “BoltAI Web Content” processes (in my case literally dozens during a day) of 200mb to 300mb each.
You can’t resize the instant chat bar to be smaller; indeed trying to do so actually makes it bigger.
The file picker from the instant chat bar never works at selecting a file the first time you try it; you always have to back out and try again.
I don’t object in principle to the merging of the instant chat bar and the pop-out chat window, but please don’t lose key functionality while doing so!

Thanks. This was to fix the UX issues with the earlier design. But it indeed seems to bring another set of problems. I will work on this soon.
