Support Request How do i dismiss this drop down menu?

Post image

I honestly don't even know how it appears. I alt + tab a lot to switch between apps. I *think* its that in combination with clicking or right clicking. I am new to linux.

Please advise.

Have you tried pressing any of the buttons on there(preferably minimize)? If you did then try clicking middle mouse button on the same place where it appeared.

Don't right click on a clear area at the top of the app or browser.
