Hello everyone  
I’m new to glide and I encountered a bug regarding the return button. I can’t see it at the top left of the page but when I click in the empty space I go back.

The back button is only visible on mobile… for desktop it’s typical to use breadcrumbs

I have the same problem. Definitely seems like a bug to me.

All we have is the X button which reverts us back to the main screen instead of going back to the previous overlay. Desktop mode shows the back button which functions perfectly, but for some reason it’s missing on mobile. Just looking for some consistency.
