What happened?

when you control click to open a glance window and the click outside the bounds of the window, it seems to minimise the window but zen stiill thinks its open and not only can you not do anything on the tab you were on, you can no longer switch tabs or close the glance window (without closing the current tab) until you restart zen (seems to only be specific websites repeatable on instagram for instance)

Glance is generally very unstable, and i dont understand why they enabled it by default (and didnt even bother with at least adding a small "ALPHA" tag to let people know its not very stable at the moment)

In addition, websites opened with Glance are being saved to the history, im unsure whether its intended behaviour or not though, but for me, it shouldnt be.

its deffinatly gotten more stable in the last update but its still a bit buggy.

I would add to this: When using the Glance feature, if I open a tab and close it with the shortcut [CTRL] + [W], the browser remains in "Glance mode" across all other tabs. This prevents further use of the Glance feature. Restarting the browser temporarily resolves the issue.

Steps to reproduce:

Open a tab using the Glance feature.
Close the tab with [CTRL] + [W].
Attempt to use the Glance feature on other tabs.
