I think this happens when it's accidentally activated and there's no text box for it to type into. The only way to kill the window in this circumstance is to open the PowerToys settings and toggle Quick Accent off and then on. This happens on 0.64.1 still.

Je pense que cela se produit lorsqu'il est activé accidentellement et qu'il n'y a pas de zone de texte dans laquelle taper. La seule façon de tuer la fenêtre dans cette circonstance est d'ouvrir les paramètres PowerToys et d'activer puis de désactiver Quick Accent. Cela se produit encore sur 0.64.1.

Exactly, even on 0.64.1 the bug is not fixed yet ; although, even after use in a text field, it does not disappear !

It's always the 'w' menu that shows when this happens for me. I think it has something to do with Ctrl+Win+Left/Right for switching desktops, but I can't seem to figure out what I hit. It's always accidental when I'm doing something else. I think it's too easy to hit the wrong keys and it's a pain when the popup doesn't go away.
