SUMMARY

The "About" shouldn't be a card that overlays over the UI. There are no advantages to this over a window - it's square, separate from the rest of the UI, and is closable independently of it. On that note, it has no closure button (unlike a window) so how to close it isn't obvious.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Select "Help"
2. Select "About"

OBSERVED RESULT

A card appears.

EXPECTED RESULT

A window would appear.

Ignore that bit. I missed it - I was looking in the top-right.
