Anyone having problems with their Touch Bar freezing on their new MBPs? Has happened to me 3x now. First 2 times I could just open system preferences, goto Keyboard and then Customize Control Strip to reset it.

Just now, for the third time it froze, and the above method didn't work. I tried killing the process in Activity Monitor, didn't do anything. So I then closed the lid and reopened, and the whole computer froze, had to restart.

Works now.... but this is an issue. Are there are known workarounds besides a restart?

EDIT: context - third time, it happened right after ending a call that I took through my MBP via Handoff.
 
The only time I had it freeze, it fixed itself after waiting a minute. Others have had trouble with it freezing too.
