“This app is open in another tab” - I get this message periodically. However, I’m working on the app alone and my privacy settings are set to “Only I can sign in”.

Also, the editor will not open this particular application the first time. Never. The screen is black until I refresh the page. After refreshing everything starts working.

I don’t know if there is a connection between these events.

Is this some kind of bug or should privacy be configured differently?

While this seems to be a bug, I also want to talk about this part.

Your privacy settings have nothing to do with your builder access. If your app is in a team and someone else has access to the team, they can go into the builder and work on the app. That setting is only for the real app.

Looks like it’s some kind of problem at the Glide level.  
At least I won’t have to worry about someone else breaking into my work now. )
