text: Version 1.74.0, when I open the developer tools, it becomes a floating window, which is very unfriendly for extension developers, please add at least one option to use the old layout. !
Was caused by an upstream electron bug with WCO Believe there are plans to restore the docking feature in the near future now that the electron issue is resolved.
I found that if you toggle OFF the setting, Developer Tools docking functionality is restored AND you also still get the WCO experience (perhaps that's a separate bug?). Suggest docking at the bottom instead of to the right if there's any visual conflict due to the aforementioned electron bug.
It work, thanks!.
The setting will be removed at one point, keeping the issue open to provide and dock options when WCO is enabled.
I manged to get it to dock again with 's workaround but I noticed in the dev tool now it shows the HTML for the VS code app instead of the file I have open in the preview !
Related Stack Overflow question:
This makes working on Windows really awful for me, I think the upstream bug is fixed.
To give some context, with WCO chromium has a bug in orienting devtools window when docked to the position where the Window controls are, basically they overlap making it harder to use the close, minimize or maximize button. Chromium always pop out the devtools window in PWA for this scenario and Electron inherited this by default. The fix in does not address the aligning behavior but rather provides a workaround that calling would be respected even in the WCO scenario rather than forcing to always detach. Now, on our end to incorporate this fix we need to change all our callsite with a mode otherwise we will default to detach as seen in this logic Say we chose as default and user later reposition it to right or left then this new state will be persisted to json file under the user data directory, in non WCO cases this saved preference will be applied next time when calling or without a mode value from the application side, that is how user's preferred position is applied. But in the WCO case, this does not take effect so we need a logic on VSCode side to read the preference value and adjust the start mode with it. I didn't want to make this change yet in core hence this issue remains open, I will tackle it in debt week.
