iOS 13.4 simulator Capture Cursor issue

Xcode 11.4 brought with it a totally new and powerful simulator with a separate toolbar, and this toolbar contains a few buttons and the first one is called Capture Cursor. But, unfortunately, it has some issues on my Macbook (with touch bar). When you click on this button you lose mac's cursor, and the iPad simulator gets all the focus (which is supposed). And to exit it, it says 'Press Esc to exit', but pressing Exit does nothing on my MacBook and I'm stuck in the simulator. Even more, my touch-bar seems to freeze at all, and all the buttons stop responding. So the question basically is, is this a known issue and how to fix it (get control back) without restarting mac by the press-and-holding power button? enter image description here

Solution

  • It turns out that the easiest way is to just close and reopen the lid.
