**Current behavior** : Once Grindstone app minimizes automatically, it remains on the screen as bar of size around 6x1 cm. I think it is called “Stopwatch mode”. If I am working with another app say Chrome, Grindstone will be displayed on top of Chrome App. As result, I would not be able to click on the Chrome area where Grindstone is displayed. In order to click on that area of Chrome, I need to expand Grindstone by clicking on the top right area of Grindstone. This opens “Full Grindstone interface”. When I click on the minimize button in “Full Grindstone interface”, the App is minimized momentarily, so that I can view Chrome app full.

**How to resolve the issue**? My suggestion is, not to show the Grindstone app on the screen while in “Stopwatch mode”. Rather, minimize it fully and show in the Windows Taskbar.
