How do I get rid of this pop-up?

I looked up a word and this window pop-up came up but now I cannot get rid of it.

Am I dumb? Most likely. Hopefully, this is stupid simple and someone can help me.

its the lookup panel, which you have made floating at some point. simply close the window, or use the reset interface button in the viewer controls.

Thank you. I got it fixed using the Reset Interface thing which I didn't know existed (and it took me a while to find it). Also, the whole point of the post is that I couldn't close that window. There was no way to drag it or move it and no button to close it that I could see. That's why I had to ask. I couldn't see a way to close it unless there is some keyboard shortcut I am unaware of.

Did you trying clicking on the lookup panel title bar.

The close button on the extreme right should turn red, and be clickable. The panel should be movable, a right click will show a regular Windows options menu - Restore, Move, Size, Minimise, Maximise and Close. The standard Alt+Space sequences should work - M, S, N, X and C (and Alt+F4).

Added: a double click on the title bar will restore the panel to its default position as a right edge sidebar.

Did you see my image?

Anyway, for whatever reason, the window opened up in a way that I could NOT see the top of it, and trying to grab the window (in various places that were visible) did not allow me to move it.

I don't know how it got like that. It was like that when it opened.

I wonder if it has something to do with my Windows 10 being set at 150% scaling? My native resolution of my monitor is 2560x1440 which is how my resolution is set but as I said I use 150% scaling so I can actually read stuff. Maybe it was a scaling issue, with the window appearing so high and partially out of view of my screen? I don't know.

I thought the bar with Google... was the title bar

If something like that happens again, in any application, press Alt+space, M, and you'll see a move cursor, press the arrow keys (↑ ↓ → ←) to move the window back into full view.
