Clicking on the Property button: the contextual menu sometimes disappear but the place holder that contains it remains. Closing it from the Animation window icon in the task bar is apparently possible, but... closing the Animation window using the cross icon on the top right doesn't make it disappear, clicking outside the place holder makes it apparently disappear, but... But... Thinking that the thing had completely disappeared, I saved the layout as an external file and when I loaded it in the project, I got this (you see that the place holder has been recorded in the layout and Unity doesn't like that at all, neither do I for that matter: Happens in 2020.3 and 2021.1. I'm not sure how easy it would be to reproduce it though. I'm on Linux Mint, details in my profile.
