Black bar on right when developer tools is opened
Anyone seen where a blank black bar appears on the right hand side when developer tools is opened? It's something coming from the browser's chrome, as it doesn't show as being part of the <html> element when inspected in developer tools.
This is happening on the Dev channel on both MacOS and Windows 10 for me. It is not happening on the Stable channel.

- keeganwitt That's interesting, what platform have you taken the screenshot? For me there is no black bar and the DevTools manager comes on the side, not the bottom. Maybe it's a placeholder for an upcoming feature.
Kam The screenshot was on Windows, but I've observed the problem on both Windows 10 and MacOS. Dev tools is on the right I think by default, but you can pin it to left, right, or bottom, or pop it out into it's own window. Chrome has had that ability for years. Click the 3 dots next to X and select "Dock side" to change that. If it is docked on the right, it covers the bar, so it seems there's some code assuming it's gonna be on the right.
keeganwitt Here's how it looks for me:
Are you asking why it looks black? It's because I enabled a secret flag 🙂
