Accidentally hit the back button on a live agent while chatting

So I was talking to a live agent earlier and I accidentally hit the back button and when I tried connecting to another agent, it told me "It appears you already have a chat in progress in another window, please continue your chat in that window" how do I go about connecting to another agent?

Hi there! You should be able to close out the window and go back in and get to an chat option. Did you try that ?

No closing chat window option, dude, other than End Chat. And apparently that doesn't work either. Neither does exiting and reentering app

Did this issue get resolved?

Because I just did the same [Edited: "Language"] thing & see now way or how I can get back connected with that agent. When I try to go back and re-do the chat it says I'm already in a chat with an agent && I need to open the window. Well what [Edited: "Language"] window are they talking about!?

This happens to me all the time. This company's internet and customer service are horrible. I'm about to terminate my contract with them, internet never works anymore and I'm paying $100 a month for this.

@user_e0ba78​ 

I'm sorry you've had that expierence.

I'm sure they'll work with u on pricing if your not able to afford that much. 

I only pay 5$ for my xfinity because I qualify for the ACP program. + I have xfinity flex for low Income.

I've never had an issue with customer service.  I might occasionally have a hard time understanding them, lol.

But they've always seemed to help me.

UPDATE ON THE ISSUE;;

If your using the app, you will not be able to go back to your chat via agent.

BUT if your doing it on your browser (Google, or whatever u use) there's a tab on the right side that shows a message picture. There I believe is where you can go back 2 continue your chat with the agent.

It is an unfortunate shortcoming of the app and unfortunately the chat assistant system is coded with the expectation that customers will ONLY be chatting in the desktop site. I already complained to a tech supervisor on this and hope xfinity can fix this ASAP

Did this get resolved? I'm having the exact same issue. They must do this on purpose so people get exhausted with the terrible user interface and drop off.
