 * Hello! I’m experiencing an issue with the close button in the web stories.
   Observation:
   During the initial page load, the close button is visible. However, once the 
   page fully loads, the close button disappears.Suspected Cause:It appears that
   a CSS class, likely i-amphtml-story-ui-hide-button or a similar class that applies
   display: none or visibility: hidden, is being dynamically added to the close 
   button element (.i-amphtml-story-close-control) after the initial load.Testing:
   I’ve tested this on a fresh WordPress installation with only your plugin activated,
   and the issue occurs there as well. Initially, the button shows correctly, but
   after some time or after the story fully loads, it becomes hidden.Suggestion:
   Could you please investigate why the i-amphtml-story-ui-hide-button (or a similar
   hiding class) is being applied to the close button and potentially remove or 
   prevent this class from being added, especially in scenarios where the user might
   want immediate access to close the story?Thank you for your work on this plugin!

 * Hi there,
 * Thanks a lot for reaching out & leaving a review. We’d be happy to look into 
   this.
 * Could you please [open a new support topic](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/web-stories/#new-topic-0)
   and share the link to your website where you see this happening? It’s a bit more
   complex than just adjusting CSS because a) these classes are usually added for
   a reason and b) we don’t actually control the CSS 🙂
