Macbook screenshot editor not disappearing

The screenshot editor that comes up when you press the screenshot floater in the bottom right corner after taking a screenshot does not disappear for me when I try to close it. I can't save it or press "Klar" (Done), any tips?

MacBook Air (2020 or later)

Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.


NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files
