Touch Bar won't expand or change in applications

My Touch Bar is stuck in the expanded form and will not condense to the command strip or change according to different apps. How do I fix this?

Touch bar glitches When you choose to show spaces in the touch bar settings, and then also checks the box for show control strips, there should be an arrow on the right of the touch bar to expand the control strip. Under this configuration, the control strip wouldn't really work. It would show up briefly and then retract back again and the arrow icon would disappear. (You would need to click on the desktop or maybe other windows to make the arrow for control strips to show up again. But then when you tap the arrow the same things would taken place.) Any solutions for this?
