ARC Windows 8.1 No Minimize, No Maximize, No Resize, No Move

I have windows 8.1, i've attached a screenshot of the desktop, with ARC open over other windows applications.

I don't have close, minimize, maximize buttons on the ARC window, neither i can move the window or resize.

User-inserted image

maximize, minimize or restore is only possible via the ARC application buttons.

I don't see the ARC's windows frame

is this normal ?

It's very annoying and is a pain to access other applications in the desktop.

Definately a bug, whether it is windows or ARC. Maybe a full screen bug?

Maximized or not there are no windows frame, maximize or minimize buttons.

This is like a windowed-border-less mode. It is strange it occurred out of nowhere though. Not sure how to get it out either.

@nomad,

the issue is not inside ARC.

I believe it has been like this since the UI redesign over a year ago. You can put it in full screen (maximized) by going to Options/Preferences, then use alt-tab to get to other applications (when running on Windows 10, I put it in its own virtual desktop so it is not sitting over other applications).

One of those weird UI things that I have never bothered to complain about, just work around, but it is a bit strange.
