I undocked the dev-Tools of chrome so that when pressing F12, another window opens, showing the DEV-Tools.
Problem: For I-don't-know-what-reason the window moves to a random position whenever it's opened. currently it moved so far, that its coordinates are fully outside of my desktop. It always moves at least somewhere nearly outside my desktop.
Question: How to restore the window positioni if it's not reachable for grabbing?
How to avoid this happening again?
I had the same problem, turns out it was because I had multiple monitors and one of them had display scaling set to 125%, when I set it back to 100% the developer tools windows always appeared where I could see it entirely.
You can change the display scaling by right clicking the desktop and then clicking Display settings, look for the setting Change the size of text, apps, and other items, if it's already at 100%, click on another monitor at the top and check again.
Of course you might not like having the monitor at 100% scaling (everything will be smaller), but at least it works!

I was curious if anybody had experienced the same issue: when opening a pop-up in the GUI (e.g., inspect patch, inspect turtle), that pop-up open on the top of the screen in a way that I can't grab the menu bar, this can't close or move it which can be really frustrating at times - see screenshot. The small grey bar on the top-left is an old pop-up that I resized to get it out of the way.
Anyone got an idea how that could be fixed?
I use NetLogo 6.1.1 on an Asus laptop running Windows 10. I tried right-clicking, resizing, etc. but to no avail.
Recently in VS Code, somewhere around v1.42 or v1.43, we gained the ability to move around the following windows/panels that used to be stuck in the panel:
Terminal
Output
Debug Console
Problems
They could be split into multiple items in the panel itself (side-by-side or top/bottom, depending on whether the panel was at the bottom or left/right), and even dragged into the side-bar.
This was great, but after moving all of these windows to the side-bar while experimenting, I can't find any way to move them back into the panel. The panel is now empty, except for 3 dots (an ellipsis) in the upper left corner. You can still hide/show the panel, and move it left, bottom, or right, but there is nothing in it, and you can't drag anything to it. Dragging the terminal into the panel shows an icon that looks like it will successfully move (it's not the icon with the circle/cross-out you get other places it won't drop), but when releasing the click-drag, nothing happens.
I had just upgraded to v1.45.0 when this happened. It appears to be a defect, unless I'm missing something. Does anyone have a way to put the terminal or one of these other windows back in the panel, or reset their position? I combed the settings, and tried to find default setting's files (system or user) that might hold info on what is in the panel vs. the sidebar, etc., but couldn't find anything via search or on my PC. Any ideas?
Note: This is NOT about moving the panel between the left/right/bottom positions, or selecting the terminal/output/etc. in the panel itself. That's "old news", this is a recent feature.
Here is a view with the Terminal, Output, Debug Console, and Problems put at the top of the sidebar toolbar, and Terminal focused. The Panel is just to the right of the sidebar window, set to the "left" position, completely blank and useless. The "welcome" window on the far right side:
And here are my current settings:
See this issue https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/96117 (Empty panel behaves weird)
Suggested fix:
Run the command View: Reset View Locations in the command palette.

Menu Window / Reset Window Layout worked for me in VS 2019
Google Chrome color picker isn't responding. I tried re-installing and resetting Chrome. How can this be resolved?
"Reset devtools" doesn't fix the issue. I am not entirely sure what the exact cause of this bug is, but the only fix available will need to be done in an update. I could not find it in the code itself, although I didn't spend much time looking.
The main issue is that when your dev tools are docked to the bottom of the window, then the color picker will not show. It will load though, but the interface wont show. More than likely it is either in the wrong layer, or has some issue with its actual display, as no errors are thrown.
Anyway, the reason resetting dev tools works is because the default setting is to dock the dev tools to the right side of the screen (presumably, their testing showed most users use a wide screen, multiple screen, setup; as a result, there is room on the side of the screen).
If you, like me, use dev tools docked to the bottom, then in order to see the color picker, you need to change the dev tool temporarily to be docked to the right side of the screen. This does not require the settings to be reset, just simply change the docking position.
if your color picker not working on your mouse pointer, then you have to change your display settings, if your display settings are at scale 125 or more then your color picker won't work in any of the browsers, if you change your display setting to 100% your color picker will automatically start working
Changing the window size brings back the color picker. If the window is full screen size, get out of full screen size.
The solution that worked for me is:
Get out of full screen mode (Un-maximize window).
Reduce the window size, specially the width.
Docking the dev-tools to right side, Scaling the display, Lowering display resolution also brings the color-picker back as all of these affects the browser window size. Hopefully this bug will be addressed soon.
Open the inspect elements -> go to settings -> Preferences -> scroll down to the end you will see button "Restore defaults and reload" -> click on it and it will work
I had the same issue on Chrome 108.0.5359.98 on Arch for a long time now.
The problem was fixed by simply unchecking one of the experiments in DevTools - Settings - Experimets - Enable color picking outside the browser window.
scale your display settings to 100 % and again re scale to 125%(recommended).
For me chaning the Devtools zoom size worked not the webpage size.
Ctrl + Mouse wheel zooms in or out on the dev tools dock.
The problem is quite simple. You are unable to use the color picker because you have enabled the mobile view or any other device view
and, you got the answer, you just need to close the device toolbar and you are good to go.
Hope that works 😃
This has happened to me a few times and it's annoying, whenever I take my laptop home my pgadmin editor stops working after resizing (I have more screens at work):
I have tried everything possible and the editor does not regain its correct shape and the "edit" area is impossible to get.
If you don't know the answer, do you have any suggestions for a good free SQL editor, now that we all know pgadmin is horrible...
Yes, it does get frustrating at times, especially when the monitor configurations are different at different places (say office vs home). So although one configuration works in office, when you take the laptop home, the Edit area is effectively missing, and the output window is at 100%.
You didn't mention the OS, but on windows I used to first Un-maximize the window, and then use to Right-Click on the Window (blue?) bar, that gave me the default MS Windows options (Move, Minimize, Maximize, Restore etc.). (These have been life-savers also when a window is completely out of the visible scope).
Once the menu is selected (nowadays using special keyboard combinations, i.e. a mouse isn't required), you could take the window further up and start to see a very small Query box open up. That way, you can now select the section divider and slide it down to reduce the Output Window size.
Painful, but worked most of the times.
I can't find a good way of putting Eclipse windows on two monitors. Currently I just detached (clicked on a header and dragged) a few windows to a secondary monitor (package explorer, console, and outline) while leaving primary monitor with maximized source editing window.
It works pretty well except few annoying issues. Detached windows are not in focus while you are editing your code. Which means that, for example, last build shortcut (Alt-Shift-X, Q) doesn't work because it can't find build file (because package explorer is not in focus). Also "Selected resources" option in a file search menu is not picking up current package selection.
So I was wondering is detaching windows a right way to go? Do you have any better solutions so at least package explorer stays in focus?
Thanks.
PS. Btw "unable to find build" error started showing up only in 3.4 ver for some reason.
In the Eclipse Helios (currently 3.6.2) I found very useful the use of another window to bring up multiple documents in different screens.
in the main menu, go:
Window > New window,
and drag it to the screen you prefer. Double click in the filename on the editor and will maximize the editor's window.
I hope i helped.
Kyr.
PS: If you want to maintain both windows when you closing Eclipse, don't close them one by one. Instead go: File > Exit.
I use Ultramon to spread my Eclipse across two monitors.
I have the left hand side devoted to the code and the right hand side to the Project Explorer, Search, Console, Ant and Outline views.
This way I get focus to all of my Eclipse stuff when I click on it in the taskbar or alt-tab. I can also overlay another window (usually my browser or a trace viewer) on the right hand monitor. I use SemTop to pin the overlayed window if I want to code and read some reference at the same time (This is where shortcuts keys come in handy).
So I can look at code and StackOverflow at the same time ;)
Ultramon
I split the eclipse environment over two monitors (both running at 1600*1200)
on the left I have the main coding window maximised with the outline down the right hand side.
On the second monitor I have the Junit window, Problems, Console and the package explorer
I have the same layout duplicated for all the perspectives that I use.
I have never used the Alt-Shift-Q short cut but I have found the Alt-Shift-X, T shortcut for running junit works fine when I am focussed in the main coding window .
Possibly have the package explorer on the same monitor as the coding window?
I have a widescreen primary monitor and a non-widescreen secondary monitor. The layout on my primary monitor is broken into three columns: column 1 contains the package explorer in the top half and the outline, hierarchy and search results views in tabs on the lower half. Column two is code, and is about two and a half times wider than the other two columns. (Since everybody has widescreen monitors at my office, we've standardized on 100-character lines instead of 80.) The third column has the debug view at the top, somewhat small; the variables, expressions and JUnit views in tabs below that, taking most of the vertical space; and a small breakpoints view below that. My secondary monitor has two torn off windows: the console takes up most of the screen, and below it I have a smaller window containging the problems and history views in tabs.
My only gripe is when I remote desktop in from my single-monitor setup at home: the two windows on the secondary monitor move over to the primary one. I have a "One Screen" perspective which I use in this scenario to rectify that, but when I'm back at work and switch to the dual-monitor perspective, I have to manually move the windows back over to the other monitor. I wish Eclipse would just leave them over there, but I can't see any way to make it do that.
I have my Package Explorer and Code on my primary monitor and the Console on my secondary monitor. I do this by right clicking over console tab and selecting Move.. then View.
This way I am able to drag, drop and resize the console window.
Hope this helps!
I did this by extending my eclipse to both monitors, in windows you can make your screens extended by holding win key and tapping P,
Then, selecting my left monitor as the main one I dragged the right side of the eclipse window to cover the other screen all the way. then made eclipse into three columns. Now my main monitor is dedicated to code editor and console and package explorer are on the other one! when you have a whole monitor for your code it always helps to use cntrl+{ and have a second vertical column for viewing the same file, or dragging the tab of another file to the side of screen to view both in the same time.
Finally I just saved my work from window > save Perspective As
I can switch between my normal and dual monitor perspective whenever I'm not in the office
I've reduced (but not eliminated) the need for the package explorer to always be showing by using Ctrl+Shift+R in eclipse, this pops up a filter-as-you type window that makes switching between files which you remember the name of easy, as well as accepting wildcards to make it easy to find files you partially remember the name of.
I keep source on my main screen and outline tasks and LogCat (android) on my secondary screen, if I find i'm reading a lot of web content i fire up my laptop via synergy as an independent third screen, it's not ideal but it works.
