Logic Pro app won't open after closing a project

When I close a project in logic (file>close project), the screen returns to the desktop as if the whole application has closed. The Logic Pro menu still shows at the top of the screen, but when I click on the app icon in the dock it doesn't open. The only way I can open logic after this happens is to manually quit the app (cmd+Q) and open it again. I am new to Mac and logic so I am not sure if this is a bug in the software or if it is supposed to be like this. I tried deleting and reinstalling the logic app and there was no change.

Thanks
