As you can see from the screenshot (taken today), the chat icon overlay covers the “-” button and I was unable to use it to zoom out. At a later point today, the chat icon was not here, and I suspect it happens after having tried to use the chat.

Running Chrome on a Macbook Air.

Hey @CrunkedUp ,

Thanks for the report.

Will it be possible to share the screen recording of the issue should it happen again?

Best,

Also because the chat opens on the right of the screen, when you are making a report it blocks the title and location info of selected waypoints. It would be much more convenient if it was on the left side of the screen instead.
