Leaving artifacts on my screen

from Stardock Forums

In the left side of the  title bar of some of my windows, specifically chrome pop-ups, there is a left pointing arrow and a small box with a gear in it. After I close the windows these items stay on my desktop. I cannot delete them or interact with them, though they highlight on mouse-over. By the end of my work day there are tons of these. If I change the curtains theme it cleans them up. They also only highlight on the title bar, they do not react to a click

Windows Version 1903 (OS Build 18362.1016)

Curtains version 1.01

The primary offender is a tool our company uses; Autotask.net. Perhaps it is the way that it spawns new windows, however the issue does not happen when curtains is disabled.

As a short term solution you can open curtains settings, goto options and untick the "Progressive web apps show back button" option.  This should resolve the issue.
