Chrome refuses to be swiped off screen

[JimRockford_PI]

I had always been able to swipe Chrome off my phone when I am closing all windows. But, in the past few days, though all other app windows can be swiped off after resizing the windows, Chrome refuses to go. Any idea? I have already disabled/enabled it, to no avail. Chrome very. 102.0...

try rebooting the phone. also try clearing cache for chrome.

Disabling/Enabling the Chrome app just changes it from being 'off' and then back 'on' again, it doesn't actually alter the app's functionality. Since things were working OK previously and just became problem, it seems to be more of some kind of one-off glitchy behavior that requires something more than just toggling the app off and on.
Try what @ocnbrze suggested -- a phone restart is often all that's needed to clear up a simple software glitch, and clearing the app's cache is often the first thing to try.
But if neither of those things solves your problem, try using Clear data next. This is a bit more drastic as it wipes the Chrome app's config data and any changes you made to the app's Settings menu so you'll have to re-do them and possibly re-enter your user name/password if you had things like syncing with your desktop Chrome set up.
