Hey @apurvapopat95,

Thanks a bunch for the detailed report! This looks to be the same issue as in #22. But just to confirm, do you only see this issue when you are in the card browser, or do you also see it when you are adding cards (i.e. you freshly start Anki, and then click on the "Add" link at the top of the main screen, no browser window open).

Thanks in advance!

I see this every time, in every situation sir.
