Lost Developer Tools menubar entries in Edge Canary
I have a problem in Edge Canary (but not Dev) ... I'm sure I must have done something without realising it, but I can't figure out how to undo it.
I don't often use the Developer Tools (usually just to grab an NTP image of the day I like), but when I do I'm now missing the last few entries in the Dev Tools pane menu bar.
I DO still have (left to right):
Select element
Toggle device Toolbar
Elements tab
Console tab
Sources tab
Network tab
Performance tab
Memory tab
Double arrow that drops down further tabs
However, after the double arrow that drops down the menu of other tabs, I have nothing else to the right in Edge Canary. In Edge Dev, on opening the Dev tools, in that pane's menu bar I have the same, but then to the right of the double arrow I also have:
Warnings icon and number
Send Feedback
Customize and Control DevTools Three dot menu
Close
All those 4 are missing in my Edge Canary DevTools menubar/toolbar ... it's especially annoying not having the Close.
Can anyone tell me how to get those back in Edge Canary?

Oh yes ... your screen shot appears to show you also missing the items that should be at the right end of the DevTools menu bar. Just as a check, I've tried in Google Chrome and Google Chrome Beta, and they both do have them (without the extra send feedback button), like my Edge Dev but unlike Edge Canary. While some of the functions are accessible without them through keyboard shortcuts (which I hate), others are not.
OK, this is a snipped screenshot from my Edge Dev on this page on this forum with the DevTools open, then the same in my Edge Canary. You will see that below the Edge Toolbar and favourites bar is the top toolbar or menu bar, whatever it is called, of the DevTools. Note how in the Edge Dev version (top), to the right of the double right arrow (a dropdown menu for the other tool tabs there isn't space to show) there's a space, then two error indicators, a feedback button, the Customize and Control DevTools three dot menu and a close button. But on the Edge Canary one there is nothing to the right of the double right arrow for the dropdown menu of more tool tabs, although two more tabs - performance and memory - are showing as there's all the extra space from not having those other warnings and buttons. What I want to know is how to get the Devtools menu bar in Edge Canary to go back to looking like the one in Edge Dev, as I don't know what I may have accidentally done to remove those buttons.
Edge Dev
Edge Canary
- Well the best option to get them back to default would be to fully uninstall Edge canary (select delete user data during uninstall when asked) then reinstall it again..
