Finder windows will not minimize nor close with either the yellow or red stop light buttons respectively in macOS Golden Gate 27.0.1. I’ve quit TotalFinder and and confirmed that windows will minimize and close as expected and intended. They do not with TF running.

Finder windows will close and minimize with keyboard commands just fine, so there is a work around, but its not ideal. For some reason, it just appears that the stoplight buttons do not work. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Is there any chance that this can be looked at and possibly resolved??

The exact same thing happens to me; I can’t minimize or close Finder windows.
