Any Way to Close Live's Browser from Push 2?

When using the browse function on Push 2, it unfolds the side browser in Live 10. When you exit browser on Push 2, it remains open in Live. Is there any way to close it from the Push 2 device, rather than having to go back to Live and close it with your mouse?
For me, one of the main appeals of the Push is getting away from the mouse and keyboard in regards to my workflow, and being more 'hands on'.

Push doesn't affect the browser in Live 10 on my end, so either you're not using the latest version or something else is going on.
I used both the 'add track' and 'add device' options as well as the browse button. My Live browser stays collapsed no matter what. Making me wonder: how did you try to hide it? You should be clicking the 'arrow icon' in the upper left corner.
(edit): Also: are you sure your Push is correctly set up?
(edit2): I finally managed to reproduce... this only happens if you use the browse option while your track already contains an instrument and/or device. This seems to be caused by the fact that you're now swapping stuff. I don't think there's a way to auto-close the browser, but you can work around this. Instead of hitting browse start by removing the device(s) you want to exchange and then press either browse or add device.
In fact: simply pressing 'add device' and then selecting the instrument (or preset) you want to use has the same effect; it will automatically replace the instrument but without affecting Live's browser itself. This is also why I couldn't reproduce the issue at first.
Thank you! It's not a huge issue. Now I know at least it's not just me.
