cannot leave the app

After developing content in a Canvas App,

Then save my changes.   (By the way - the 'Save' button is very seldom active - so I'm forced to use Ctrl+s)

When I click the back button to go back to my apps, I get white screen - but I never get back to my Apps.

The only way that I can get out is to close the browser tab.

 

I have tried clearing the cache and (even restarting my machine between clears) numerous times  -but next time that edit my app - I cannot exit again.

Is this a known issue?   Is there a fix for this?

    Hi @MissingLink ,

     

    Regarding the first issue, I assume you have auto-save enabled, which is the default. This means every 2 minutes your changes get saved. In case there are no unsaved changes, the save button will be disabled. This probably explains why you see the save button disabled often: you have not made changes in the last 2 minutes (or less). 

     

    On the second topic: I have that all the time, so I got used to it. The issue seems to be caused by some re-directs. When I'm ready to go back, usually I hit the back button on the browser and select the first Power Apps | Home option:
