Hey @crtchakri, thanks for reporting. This problem is fixed in the latest version of one of our dependencies: QtAwesome 1.3.1.

Since it's not available in Anaconda yet, you need to install Spyder in a new environment from Conda-forge (a community maintained set of conda packages). For that, you need to open the Anaconda Prompt and run the following commands:

conda create -n spyder-env -c conda-forge spyder
conda activate spyder-env
spyder

Let us know if it works for you.
