I'm trying to help a family member with a Chrome browser problem remotely, but there's no possibility of using remote interaction software. So I'm stuck asking here if anyone has seen this problem where Chrome won't exit out of full screen mode. She hits F11 and it toggles between what you see in the screenshots. However, she can't minimize, drag to the right, or resize the window to normalcy. It's just toggling between these two views with F11 with no ability to interact with the browser in non-fullscreen mode. Several times she has reinstalled Chrome but it still does this. Any ideas?

I was testing a website with the Developer Tool of Firefox and I was facing a weird bug. Then I checked the window width with a simple console log console.log($(window).width) and I saw that the reported width in developer tools wasn't the same that javascript was detecting.
I tried than with the Google DevTools and showed width was consistent with the console log width.
Is this a Firefox bug or am I doing something wrong? Actually on a real mobile device and on Google DevTools the website works as it should, but if I test the same page on Firefox I see a bug that actually doesn't exists (and for this reason I've lost some time).
This are a couple of screenshots to better explain what I mean:
Google Chrome
Firefox
Resizing the browser window doesn't effect the JavaScript $(window).width
The problem is in the documentation for developer tools IMHO.
They don't mention a thing about the Touch Simulation changing the behavior of the rendering.
AFAIK, the Touch Simulation activates some form of "logical pixels" mode, where lengths are translated using device DPI, or perhaps DPR.
Deactivate it and see for yourself.
When opening the error console in Chrome developer mode, the window is too small to display the messages. I cannot resize the window nor the top portion to view the messages. Is there a work-around?
It doesn't matter which extension/app I'm working on, it happens every time.
I have this same problem. Its not a permanent solution, but this is what I do to see the errors.
So I was testing my site for full screen mode and I noticed that when you move your mouse to the top of your screen when in full screen mode it doesn't show the little window that allowed you to exit full screen without hitting F11. Is this a bug or is it intentionally removed from the latest chrome update? It's pretty annoying.
PS: I did recently reinstall my pc and since then I noticed some changes I am not very happy about :(
Intentional change. And yes it's really annoying, especially if you don't have F11 key :-(

When I open Developer tools and turn on device mode, and click any drop down on the page chrome renders options with minimum width and rest of the area as black.
I dont know what is causing this error. I tried to update my graphics card driver, but problem still exists.
After some googling, got to know that this is an issue in Chrome browser itself. Refer the following link for more info - https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=553274&q=status%3Aunconfirmed&sort=-id&colspec=ID%20Pri%20M%20Iteration%20ReleaseBlock%20Cr%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20OS%20Modified&num=1000
Chrome's dev tools starting behaving strangely today. When I expand the dev tools pane, the main browser window scales down proportionately rather than becoming narrower (or shorter).
I've searched through the settings to see if there is something I inadvertently checked or unchecked, but haven't had any luck. I've also disabled all extensions and verified that I'm on the current version of Chrome.
You can see the effect in the screenshots below. The browser pane in the first screen shot has already scaled down, and scales further as I expand the dev tools pane in the second shot.
What should I do to fix this?
So it turns out it was a combination of settings I had inadvertently checked.
In Developer Tools Settings, Show 'Emulation' view in console drawer has to be checked
In the console drawer, on the Emulation tab, if Emulate screen and Shrink to fit are both checked, the browser window will scale as the dev tools pane is resized.
I unchecked Emulate screen and all is well.
